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

Harry Horsman Date: 7/25/2020 8:26:00 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.
