Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Antonin Careme

Antonin Careme would be

A French cooking extraordinaire

And the first chef celebrity

Bringing haute cuisine to share.

Early eighteen hundreds he rose

To gain international fame

With his flamboyant banquet shows

And pastry shops that bore his name.

Several books he authored for

The general public, so his

Food creations could be made more,

Making him tops in food showbiz.

Unventilated kitchens, his doom,

He died from breathing too much coal fume.
