Home-Cooked

My sister had us over

For a special home-cooked meal,

With sauce and pasta made from scratch -

To me, a real big deal.

When we arrived, upon a nifty

Plastic-armed display

Were fresh-made noodles, gently draped,

With lots more on the way.

We watched as sheets of dough were placed

Into a cool machine

Which my sister cranked until, Voila!

The noodles could be seen.

Upon the stove, a giant pot

Was bubbling away

With sauce made from tomatoes

She had crushed that very day.

The dinner was delicious -

Meatballs rounded out the deal -

And I marveled at the effort made

To serve us such a meal.
