Impatiently waiting,
By the countertop I stand,
Eager to gather all I need,
To create something grand.

I grab my measuring cup,
And a container that's just right,
Excited to start my creation,
With all my might.

I measure out the ingredients,
And mix them with great care,
Adding in a little love,
To make it extra rare.

My impatience fades away,
As I focus on my task,
And soon enough my masterpiece,
Is ready to be unmasked.

So if you're feeling restless,
And waiting seems too slow,
Get creative in the kitchen,
And let your imagination flow.

Use a measuring cup and container,
And the countertop as your space,
And see what you can create,
In this magical and tasty place.
