Just Like a Man

John Keats


He sat at the dinner table
with a discontented frown,
The potatoes and the steak were underdone
And the bread was baked too brown;
The pie was too sour and the pudding too sweet,
And the roast was much too fat;
The soup so greasy, too and salty,
T' was hardly fit for the cat.

"I wish you could eat the bread and pie
I've seen my mother make,
They are so nice and 't would do you good
Just to look at a loaf of her cake."
Said the smiling wife, "I'll improve with age
Just now I'm but a beginner;
But your mother has come to visit us
And today, she has cooked the dinner."
