 Cooking a Poem

Is it cooking or baking?
Baking, of course relies
On mixing ingredients

One
        By
               One

(by two by three by four)

And the blending or kneading
        Or some such arduous 

Task

 Then the long 

                        Bake

An hour

                At 

Least

(by two by three by four)

Cooking, now that's an 
Action
            Sport 

Eye contact with your 
Opponent is key
Constant engagement|
Assured

Blade skills ensured
Chopping
        Dicing
Chiffonade

The watching of the

    Heat

And then, of course 

Stirring and scraping 
And watching the

Heat

Cardiovascular

But when it comes down

To 
    It

You eat well

                    Either 

Way
