Culinary Throwdown

It started with the butcher
Gone mad from a disease
Slashing the saucier
Across his precious hand
Hell has broken loose
The baker’s struck the chef
His cupcake tray now dented
Several fall to the pastry chef
Deadly with her cream-filled bags
Waiters retreat
Terrified of the pizza baker
Wielding his long-handled paddle
Until it shatters
Over the luckless sous-chef
Hurling hot water all around
Scalding all combatants
Who simmer in their rage

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
