The Oven’s on fire🔥

Men should stick to watching football

The Oven’s on fire.🔥

He fights through the smoke,

With each heavy breath.

Wishing for silence,

Facing the threat.

The alarm goes off,

A sound loud and clear.

What started as dinner,

Now fills him with fear.

“Will I get through this?

Could it all go so wrong?

A simple surprise

That didn’t last long.”

He opens a window,

Hoping for air,

Feeling the pressure,

Overcome by despair.

Footsteps draw closer,

His heart starts to race.

What will she think

When she sees this place?

She steps in the kitchen,

Eyes wide with fright,

Taking in chaos,

A terrible sight.

Disaster unfolds,

No comfort in view,

What once was a meal

Now nothing to chew.

The lesson is clear,

He knows it’s a fact:

Men shouldn’t cook—

Let her do it from now on,

No more to say

and that is that. 🔥

    Just downright bad luck for him. Actually, kind of a funny poem to read.
