Lid Wars: A Kitchen Comedy
Laughing in the face of lid adversity
In the kitchen’s realm where jars hold might,
A hero stood, with hunger in his stare,
To vanquish lids, a fearsome, stubborn fight.
The jar, it mocked, sealed tight as if in spite,
Its metal fortress, a challenge so unfair,
In the kitchen’s realm where jars hold might.
Undeterred, our champion armed with all his might,
Grasped the jar, determination in the air,
To vanquish lids, a fearsome, stubborn fight.
He twisted left, then right, with all his sight,
Yet the lid refused, unyielding in its lair,
In the kitchen’s realm where jars hold might.
A rubber grip he sought, to make things right,
Yet still, the jar resisted, a fierce affair,
To vanquish lids, a fearsome, stubborn fight.
With sweat and wit, he battled through the night,
The lid unmoved, a foe beyond compare,
In the kitchen’s realm where jars hold might.
But lo! A twist, a turn, a shining light,
The lid surrendered to his dogged care,
To vanquish lids, a fearsome, stubborn fight.
Rejoice, dear friends, in this kitchen rite,
Where victory tastes sweet, a triumph rare,
In the kitchen’s realm where jars hold might,
To vanquish lids, a fearsome, stubborn fight.
