Cookie cooks chile in big copper kettles
And good smelling chile it is.
When wind makes us chilly, Cookie makes chile
To go with that cornbread of his.
Get cumin and corn meal and red chili powder,
Some pinto beans, red bells and poblano peppers,
Add ground beef and onions and dark olive oil,
Tomatoes and garlic and then make it boil.
I never add cola, no coffee or choc’late.
But sometimes I just put some red wine right in it.
White beans are nutritious, delicious with ham steak.
You’ll never find white beans in chili that I make!
No spice mix or jar sauce or salsa will please me.
In your bowl, add onions and then make it cheesy.
Sweet butter on cornbread. You know it won’t last long.
Hey! Stop! I made plenty! Don’t crowd in; it's so wrong!
