This is a fleeting moment of frivolity to enjoy as you search for an inspiration for supper. Or whatever. I took both the poem and the cartoon from the internet, presuming they're both in the public domain. I think they go together well. Read more If you like the poem, Google the author. He was a real life 19th century cowboy turned poet. Lots of great stuff by him. I can't take a lot of poetry, but this reminds me of Robert W. Service. Nostalgic, sometimes goofy, with the type of meter, rhyme, and structure that I can fathom. I like limericks too, but I don't want to discuss the man from Nantucket right now. See less

How to make it
- THAT SMOKE
- Have you noticed a man with his pots and his pans
- A tryin' to cook on the ground
- And it ain't any joke the way that the smoke
- Will foller that feller around.
- If the man crouches down it goes close to the ground
- And he can't see the stuff in his pan
- If he raises up high it goes right in his eye
- And mighty near blinds the pore man.
- He gits his pot hook fer to take a good look
- At the biscuits he's tryin' to bake.
- But right then he can't see where the lid ort to be
- And he dassen't to make a mistake.
- Yes down through the years comes the memory of tears
- And of grub that was scorched or half raw
- How the camp fire smoked and you blinded and choked
- Just to git a few bites in your craw.
