My Recipe

Anyone want to clone me?
If so, here's my recipe:
mix half cup of Norwegian
with one-quarter cup of Swede
and quarter cup of German.
Set stew on hot-as-hell stove
and cook hard to tenderize.
(Remember, watched pots don't boil,
so busy yourself elsewhere.)

Check kettle every few years,
adding seasoning to taste.
Blend assorted medicines,
vitamins, and elixirs
'til stew reaches full flavor,
remove damaged or useless
body parts to purify,
then turn burner off to cool.

As the concoction congeals,
ladle off fat that's floating
to the surface. Add ample
amounts of experience,
mistakes, false starts, and happy
endings. That, my friends, is me.
