Let's Churn Some Butter

Just as butter is made my churning cream
Light that love and churn that dream

Churn it till it’s smooth as can be
Then generously spread it all over me

Roast me, toast me then throw me in the pot
Crank up the heat because I like it hot

No need to time it so lets explore
Churning our dream till we can churn no more

The longer we churn the smoother the cream
That’s what makes us a perfect team

Each forever willing to do our part
To churn our dream with all our heart

This has such a smooth and fun beat to it. The couplet form offers a lightheartedness to the read as the content as well, through great imagery, does the same. Very well written my friend and never stop sharing. MIchael

LOL, Write On Michael, I wrote a piece a while back entitled "Task of Sweet Butter" your title drew my attention :-)However, that's some powerful butter churning, the imagery and flow of the read is dynamic in every aspect my friend. Makes for a happy camper, Thanks for sharing and your supportive critiques. God's Love and Many Blessings, Always, Adell
