Chef in me

I am a Chef

I may not have a coat that says "Chef" 

but I am a Chef

I think about all the things I've done so yes I am a Chef!

people look at me and say 

You can cook?

and I smile and node my head as though I have been doing it since 

before I was born

but that would be a lie because I only just begun

But yes I am a Chef!

I secretly make recipes 

I secretly have a sous chef

 his name is my husband

he chops and dices and does it quit nicely

and I make chicken look like fine dinning

Where is my sage ?

Where is my cumin?

over there behind the salt

he laughs at me

I laugh at him

we both reach for the same item

I sprinkle black pepper 

he sprinkles white pepper

Yuck!!! to much, to much 

I have the solution!

More Sauce!

there isn't a time that I am not creating 

I'm creating now

Just typing Just writing what to make for dinner to night

he says my chicken is done 

I say check the thermometer !!

he checks and says your right 

and I say yes, yes I am right 

and he's starts to laugh and says

because you're the Chef

the women in me would say I'm glade you finally got it down packed 

but the Chef in me says dear your right about that 

then tell him dear I wouldn't have done it without my sous chef!

too many lines ending with 'chef' started to annoy me even in the first few lines. 8 lines end with chef, 5 lines too many. (just so you know what I'm talking about). First 4 lines end with chef, not a great start to a poem if you want readers to stick by with your poem. Anyhow, let's get past that. Love the middle, makes lots of sense and short, flowing and gracefully poetic in a way.
Some lines make no sense, whether it be spelling or grammar issues. I think you missed a word in one of the makes-no-sense-to-me lines aha other than minor issues and mishaps with this poem, not a bad poem at all! I quite enjoyed reading this nice poem.

thank you for your review this is one of my earlier poems which maybe some like the way I wrote it and others don't not a problem can't please them all but as far as grammar thanks for your review!

[1Disawsum]

no problem, again!

and it's 'may be' not maybe. aha hard to get around, but not impossible.

sorry to correct you on the may be but I looked it up just to make sure because I was always taught (maybe) which is the correct spelling thanks

Thanks for replying, my bad, I got it wrong! I think I got confused by your grammatical errors again in your sentence. Proof to change, maybe? aha I know I've used it right this time! :p
And what do you mean, yet again, of 'I was always taught (maybe) which is the correct spelling...'? Are you saying 'maybe' is the correct spelling and the only spelling in every context?
