CRUELTY OF COOKS If you itemize the terms of cooks You'll find we quite deserve looks. The things we do sound very cruel Like fighting a one-sided duel. *BLKLIN We beat the eggs, whip the cream, Blow the pudding up with steam. We mash the potatoes, slice the bread, Tear apart the cabbage head. *BLKLIN We chop the onion, grate the cheese Lemon and oranges we always squeeze. We burn the sugar, gash the steak, The celery heart we often take. *BLKLIN We skin the tomato, peel the pear, Scrape the carrot everywhere. We scald the milk, freeze the salad, Strain the tea that's already pallid. *BLKLIN We prick the unsuspecting pie And remove the baby potatoes eye. And then if that's not enough, We smother some chicken and some we stuff. *BLKLIN And goodness know what else we do I'm quite abashed, aren't you? We do all this and never cry, Until we get onion in our eye.
