Fun - Who Was The First? Poem by Paul Warren

Have you ever wondered the person who was first
To put tea leaves in hot water to quench their thirst
Or to roast coffee beans just so they might
Be put in to hot water to make a drink just right

One day someone saw an egg come out of a hen's behind
And decided to boil it up for the best breakfast just fine
Then someone decided to mash wheat up and mix with water needed
Putting it in the oven to make bread for sandwiches succeeded

Some hunter one day who had the idea to cook their steak
Over a fire to make it tasty for their dinner then to partake
Was there someone who decided how to make a cake
And mix egg, flour and water in the oven then to bake

So we would not get far without others wanting to raise the food bar
And we wouldn't know the best cuisine in experimenting with food so far
