Charli’s Carrot Ranch prompt:
June 13, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about the work of many hands. Is it a cooperative effort or something else? Go where the prompt leads!
Many Hands Make Light Work
Too many cooks spoil the broth, they say
But I would like to differ, that is, if I may
For another common saying does lurk
Many hands, indeed, do make light work
Surely, it is better
To work together
To achieve our goal
As one big whole
Rather than trying to be the one
Who is named for always getting things done
Do not always try to stake your claim
Yet shy away from taking blame
Working as a team is best
You can always rely on the rest
And what can take an hour,
In minutes, you’ll devour
But I Smile Anyway...

Love this, sis. Sometimes we need to consider what is better but we should never let our pride make the decision.

The thoughts of working together to create a nice meal makes me want to hold another Chinese dumpling party!

I agree with your choice of the second saying, Ritu, that many hands make light work. The way you have expressed it in this poem is lovely. I think these two lines are particularly powerful:
Do not always try to stake your claim
Yet shy away from taking blame

Hands spoil the salad, too — according to which year you’re talking about. 🙂
