Oh Calphalon, My Calphalon

Wherefore art my beloved pan?

Sleeping soundly in my kitchen

In the dark cabinet it’s hidden

Hiding from the light of day

It is safely tucked away

Waiting just to see the light

And satiate my appetite

What fine feast will be up next

Perhaps the tuna it likes best?

  Grill Pan

Take me out you silly girl

Trash the fried food lest I hurl

Why go into the light of day

Forced to chased the bugs away

When you have me to grill you right

Satiate that lusty appetite

All you need is some meat

To whip up a tasty treat

Or some veggies from the market

Will complete your evening banquet

  

You save me from mosquito bites

When favoring some lite delights

Alas there is some use for man

To flip and baste while I do tan

Prepare for you something I will

As long as your masculine duties fulfilled

My skills were honed on the island

Where the grill was fully manned

But now an army I have none

And so the battle’s to be won

  Grill Pan

Yes I’ve seen you try to ignite

That flame which burns in you so bright

But fire lady… stay away

You’ve yet to see another day

Stick with me I’ll treat you well

Soon you’ll hear that dinner bell

Ring with opportunity

Here to feed you so hungry

And for the night now you are free

To try a dessert recipe

  

Square or round we care not

This grill pan will not be forgot

For forever we will be
Cooking in perfect harmony

To bring these recipes to you

Dear reader something fresh and new

Winter spring or chilly fall

The weather no need mind at all

For you now can feel the thrill

Charred nothings from your Calphalon grill!
