Egret, Without Regrets our Masterchef Basks

Without Regrets our Masterchef Basks


In the morning light

As a new dawn takes flight

In its glory, the egret basks

And why it does bask

Should anyone ask

Well yet again

He created culinary heaven


For behold Goa’s own Auguste Escoffier,

The white robed wonder of the wetlands’ buffet,

Whose beak, precise as a paring knife,

Carves symphonies of flavour from a simple life.


He, the bearer of the Michelin Feathers Three!

A title whispered with awe from creek to sea,

The sovereign of sautéed sunlight,

The emperor of elegantly plated twilight,

The maestro who seasons the breeze

With hints of river herbs and estuary teas.


Frogs applaud from lily pad pews,

Crabs scuttle forth to spread the news,

Even the herons, forever proud, aloof

Bow their heads in humble proof

For none surpass the egret’s art,

His marsh born magic, his culinary heart.


He stirs the dawn with a flourish grand,

Whips up clouds with a flick of his hand,

And garnishes the rising sun

With zest of joy for everyone.


So when he basks, serene and bright,

In the soft embrace of morning light,

Know this truth, both bold and plain:

He rests for soon he’ll rise again

To craft, with feathered mastery,

Another feast for land and sea.
