Family Recipe: A Poem

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Whether aimed at husband,
wife, son or daughter,
if your anger is
boiling over,
just add water

If you continue 
to froth,
add broth

Then civilly serve it
to everyone
at the table
because you
are able

    Why wasn't this credited to Hooda Helami?

      Yesterday, I saw the phrase "Just Add Water"
      and determined to use it in a poem

      Hooda had nothing to do with it
