Poets United prompt #54 is Inanimate object; perhaps the sun has fried my brain. It has been an interesting day. It all started at the DMV; my daughter took her permit test. It is like an episode of Seinfeld. The Nazis were in full performance today; they are abrupt, no smiling, it is always a strange experience. "Straighten the line, Why are you here?!" augh... Today didn't disappoint. Rude, no eye contact, no smiling. Geesh... Yes, my daughter did pass; we are happy! I am in need of some chocolate therapy(okay, low blood sugar) so this is how it all began...
I am the 4th generation to have this item; I don't know all the stories that go with it, but I know the last 3 generations like to cook, bake. I'm included in this mix :D

My Mistress beats me; she has worn me down,
Sometimes she hands me off to the Master, he is much worse
I'm a family heirloom tempered, my luster is lacking
My first owner(great gram) called a lot of kettles black including my grammie
she stirred up gossip; she was really the tarnished one
Pregnant with a married minister's child, but tossed her pregnant daughter aside
I hold secrets, I tantalize taste buds,
I can impart pain, be careful I get really hot
ended up twins were born about a month apart from her daughter's child
memories stirred, lives forever changed
I usually get the raw end of the deal, I don't mind
I do mind being tucked away
Halloween through Christmas I 'm loved again
My current owner has held me close since age seven
baking magic, memories stirred
She became ill
I was used less
sugar free became the norm
bleck, I have feelings too
I'm a purist
Worn down I am
I have scooped, lifted and mixed many decandent dreams
I serve you, I help you prep, I lift, coddle you and what do I get
the dark void of the utensil draw
Your daughter now wants to learn, 5th generation
she caresses me with frosting, pizza dough, n' blueberry muffin batter
I'm family again, not a tossed aside heirloom
my cheeks are once again rosy and I swoon when I am held~

I was very taken with the picture and the fact you have are the fourth generation to own it.
Yvonne,
bttflyscar-I loved your take! Thanks~
Yvonne-Thank you; it was a tiny taste, but sooo good~ I love homemade frosting; I turn 10 when I have a taste ;D
Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
Jules-You are funny; yes, dipped in chocolate is just as good as jumping into a big layer cake ;D
Yes, you are right; the best one I have ever gone to was in Alaska(now that is another galaxy) :D
Alex-Yes, a very happy one! I agree; I think I wrote a few chapters today just about this one!
A biker chick hugged me...it was an odd day~ Thank you; yes we are very happy! :D
Yeah, the worst experience ever;the test was awful. Online, people mentioned most don't pass the NC test, to get their license and have to re take it. I found a study guide and used that. I will be sick when I have to return! Sorry to hear, it is terrible for you~
It is horrid; next time I might take them chocolate, geesh... Sweet therapy may do the trick~

The wooden spoon is fabulous .. and so pleased 5th generation is on her way to encompassing it in her life.
Lots of tales to tell that spoon .. and your poem tale is epic .. great!

PS - please could I ask you to unembed your comment box .. it takes me forever to comment .. changing browsers, typing in details etc .. - if you could use the pop up box choice - under Settings and Comments .... many thanks!!!!
Hate the DMV.
Cole-Thank you; it was fun~ This spoon has been around forever. My kids have fought over it. It goes to the one who cooks the most; sex is not the deciding factor. It is mine, till I decide otherwise ;D
I loved your comment "mixed" yes...
thingy-I guess we all can agree on that; I do fear someone might work there and have another view. I'd love to hear it... Thank you!
Hilary-It is metal, it is wearing down so that it is sharp on one side. I figured it might have a few tales to tell ;D I didn't know, I changed things for the A-Z challenge. Okay will try something new...let me know~ Thank you!
Rinkly Rimes-It was a fun prompt; fun to read all of the responses~
Isabel-I will stop by and read it; maybe your dish will run away with my spoon ;D Thank you~
Arlee-It seems to be the code; act authoritative and don't smile. Yeah, it was an interesting prompt...so I went with it!
What a delightful and utterly tasteful piece of writing. Very enjoyable!!
Now I'm off the chat with my cookery utensils.... A great idea for the prompt Ella.
Best wishes, Eileen
Eileen-I loved your time take; it was so true and spoke volumes~ Enjoy cooking ;D Hope your chat goes well~

hugs lynn
Yes, thank you; I'm not ready, but I'm buckled in for the journey :D X
Renee-Thank you; I am sure there is a lot I don't know. I just know the first owner was an unhappy woman. I should try to do my ancestry~ Thank you so much~
BKM-Thank-you! wow, that is a marathon :D
Septembermom-Thanks for stopping by; I'll be by to see what you have been up to~ YOU are kind :D
Stephen-lol, yes, spoony is glowing and basking in some homemade pizza dough, right now ;D
