Just a meat machine
With a bread machine, you’ve got
A sandwich machine

Will get the meat and cheese right -
Too much mayonnaise.

Zero is perfect.

A quesadilla

That’s dinner sorted.

Dorothy eat your greens

That last line has six syllables in my book. Hence:
Dor’thy, eat your Greens;
no political party
is so nutritious.
