The font is joined-up letters,
the blotched paper sticky in places,
the reference to sizes of eggs misleading.
In ounces, originally,
the instructions have been translated into the three languages of the cooker:-
Celsius from the Swedes,
Fahrenheit from the Germans, and
regulo British.
Method is brief
but I can show you how …
– how she showed me.

  1. Love the way the poem turns from sticky pages to the science of measuring heat then finally to the twist in the last three lines – I can show you how…/ how she showed me – great!
