Chef (an acrostic poem)

Cooking the lights out every night was her goal in life

Harvesting awesome flavors from every ingredient she touched

Extreme foodies would travel from halfway around the world to sample her dishes

Focusing on that dream, the six-year-old watched her mom boil water

Maximizing his profits caused him to find savings everywhere

If it could be downsized, he would do it.  Single-ply toilet paper, cold cuts instead of a sub sandwich

Resulting in you throwing off your covers, releasing the pile of sparkle into your entire everything.

Maybe the tenth time would be the charm

Even though he knew she would say no

Sometimes when you are six you need to be persistent
