big cooking sessions are a ven diagram that makes a circle of “Do Not Enter My Cooking Space” and “Please Hang Out and Talk with Me”

metrical form: dactylic tetrameter catalectic rhyme scheme: AABBCCDDEE other notes: Line 1 replaces the second dactyl with a trochee. There is arguably a caesura after the second foot of each line: it’s the point at which the line 1 irregularity occurs and it’s often a sense break.
