Calories?

Tiny lady
Twinkling eyes
Laughter
Then a grin
Printed apron
Tied around
Twice – though you’re not thin
Rounded softly
Like your speech
A little mixed but cute
German words & English words
But still they seem to suit
Busy in your kitchen
Making apple pie
Potato salad
Pfiffernues
Count Calories? –
You won’t try!
