Double Lockdown


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

When Modiji ordered the lockdown, 
I ended up having a breakdown, 
Because my cook was going to leave, 
And I found it very hard to believe, 
I'd never cooked anything in my life,
Heck, I couldn't even hold the knife,
I took a deep breath and said OKAY, 
As I saw my Masterchef walk away, 

The next day I went shopping,
Got veggies home and began chopping,
 My first dish would be Paneer Bhurji,
 I googled and pulled up this 2-part recipe,


I had Paneer in the fridge; So I skipped part one, 
And just like that, half my work was done, 

 I followed Step 1 and heated oil in a pan, 
When I put the cumins in, my troubles began, 
Because cumins spluttered crazy; they got me worried, 
I fumbled for my next step; I totally got hurried, 
I read the wrong step 2, so stupid of me, 
"Add 1 tbsp vinegar", is all I could see,

‘Odd!’, I thought, but I decided to follow, 
Zero cooking sense, plus my logic went hollow, 
Yes! So I put some vinegar in hot, hot oil,
There was an explosion; I was down with recoil, 
 The pan was spraying vinegar in all direction, 
I got scared and ran away from the kitchen, 
I locked myself in the room, clearly in trouble, 
People were in one lockdown; I was in a double.
