how to use the size function: no need to size every line.

the poem. after reading the other feedback i do agree it needs to suit his paintings but only as far as style goes, it isn't called "dali's art" his style here for me is being used as a carrier. my problem is this, is the turmoil aimed at the "you on the cutting board {maybe a joint of meat}" or the turmoil of doing the meal for others. i think in places you could remove a tiny bit of excess. the images do capture the artists style and so works well if that was your aim. all my comments are small potatoes on an enjoyable time in your crazy kitchen.

So I am doing a project.  Basically I am in love with the dictionary and I go through and find a word.  This is a dictionary piece.
