Baguette

My husband said, “Pick up some bread
When you are at the store.
Of course you must be sure the crust
Is what I’m looking for.”

The loaf I found was nicely browned
And fresh out of the oven.
You never met a French baguette
About to get such lovin’.

For soon we’ll feast on what some yeast
Created with some flour;
When butter-spread, that loaf of bread
We’ll hungrily devour.

I would like to eat some bread that was just freshly baked. Some heavenly butter melted with aroma, mmm, now that just can't be faked. Peace. :)

We buy part baked baguettes and do them in the oven - nothing is as good as the smell of freshly baking bread to get the taste buds salivating:-) Great write! Hugs jan xxx
