Help! There’s a dragon in my stew!
Help! There's a Dragon in My Stew!
A dragon basks in the stew, scales glinting with heat
Steam curls, weaving tales of daring quests
Potatoes anchor islands, thickening the plot
Carrots float like tiny boats on a spicy sea
Pepper flames flicker, igniting bold flavours
Onions create layers of intrigue
Garlic breathes magic
Stew simmers bold.
Spoon stirs, dragon flares
Bubbles pop with mystery
Savoury secrets blend-
Courage takes a bite.
Spoon dips,
Bowl lifts.
Savour.
