Clank! Clutter! Bangggg!!! 

Ketchup and tomatoes lay strewn, 

The vessels added to the decor. 

Oh my! A catastrophe had badly hit

My otherwise organized kitchen. 

The puzzled me, yearned to find, 

The root cause of the disaster. 

I treaded precariously through the mess, 

Hoping not to slip and fall, 

Into the pool of steel and ceramic. 

There in the corner, we’re visible, 

The directors of the mishap. 

My twins who happily munched,

The big box of cookies, 

Unwary of the messy trail they left behind.
