she had that going for her

betty

was a hell of a baker.

she couldn't cook worth

a can of beans,

but put her

in the kitchen with

sugar, eggs, flour and butter

and a rolling pin,

stand back

brother.

there wasn't a cookie

you could name that she

couldn't whip

up in a 325 oven.

parchment paper, no

problem.

a cookie sheet greased.

nuts and sprinkles.

any shape, any size, 

look out,

she had a dozen cooling

on the sill in

no time.
