Kind Cooking

Mrs. Alice Clarke, I found your book.
Filled with newspaper clippings and instructions,
Kidney stew and Irish custard,
Neat cursive explaining jam.
I found your schema for almond fingers,
All folded precise.
Excellent shortcrust, a child could make it,
And I love you a little,
Because I have also always lived at my house,
The world,
Earth,
Milky Way,
Space.
