Kim Rodrigues Poet Sijo

More Bread and Butter Please

More bread and butter please —
man has needs that can be satisfied.

As he rumbles down the aisles,
he handles his affairs with pride.

Shopping’s his specialty —
A sizzling offering to his bride

Caren Krutsinger July 28, 2020 at 5:08 AM You might have written this in tribute to my husband who is the only one brave enough to go into a store. I have not been inside a store since February. Kim Rodrigues July 28, 2020 at 6:26 PM I rarely go. It is always an experience! So strange. Stay safe. Find joy in the little things.

Harry Horsman July 25, 2020 at 8:26 PM Hi Kim, Like a senryu, your poem takes me everywhere, regarding the human race. I like the touch of the simple things in life, those that are to be treasured. Kim Rodrigues July 26, 2020 at 3:48 AM And certainly when we get down to it, the simple things are what matter. Hugs
