Two Degrees of Separation

There were six degrees of separation.
Four of them took a vacation.
It's OK.  I don't need all that clutter.
Just leave me with the skim and butter.

Well, is it real butter or is it artificial man-made margarine? I like this one. I can't handle the skim milk because it is too flat. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Very clever, David. I like how it funnels down to the ending so well.
