Cooking Ham

not a difficult task,
had to read directions
two or three times
before I called my mother.
It was the annual call to
that lady who doesn’t
know much, but she did
know how to cook.
Usually with too much salt.
Keep it covered with foil,
whatever you do, or your
ham is gonna get dried out.
Nothing worse than ham
that’s dried out, is what she
said the last time we spoke.
