IF
If I came to the kitchen,
Made a cake and a pie,
Without my head over the counter,
Would you call me small?
If I added the spices,
Cut the meat into strips,
But fit in the pot,
Would you say I'm tiny?
If I poured the sugar,
Added the flour,
But tripped over a bug,
Would you call me puny?
If I boiled the noodles,
Added a butter sauce,
But the noodle was bigger than me,
Would you call me a shrimp?
Or would you eat the noodles,
And ask for more?
I wonder:
