In the pantry it waits, a flavor's delight, Turning dull into bold with every bite.

Whirling summer breeze, Silent partner in the heat, Turning, cooling peace.

In my old wooden drawer lies a scroll of magic, where secrets blend and tales unfold. A pinch of this, a dash of that, conjures delight from my humble hearth.

I’m a mechanical beast of burden. One wheel, two arms, and lots of work.

I marched once tall in inland soil, then felt the ocean’s call, Now I keep time with creaking ropes and hear the bosun’s bawl. No mast nor sail do I command, yet still I ride the brine, Passed from storm to storm like verse between the beats of time. I wash ashore to end the song where foamy choruses stood. What am I, sung by wind and wave, the sailor’s silent wood?
