Lime Bread And Butter
Gluttonous screen helpings of
‘A long time ago in a galaxy far far away..’
Lime boombox with Madonna singing,
‘Only when I’m dancin’ can I feel this free.’
Bread and butter of a pig tail soul;
My base bricks, these memories built me;
Grew up drawn to creativity,
carved my yearbook space unequivocally;
Walked with sweet n’ sour hooligans
who chose to live

Bread and Butter Issues
They were stopping everyone;
made us answer their questionnaires.
We were told that there were
no right or wrong answers,
but weeks later - a letter.
Apparently the socially correct
had a beef with me.
A ham sandwich had recently been indicted
and jailed.
One of the questions I replied to
smelled slightly off,
seditious salami flavored sins
had been detected.
A tuna casserole had declared independence
from

The Almost Autobiography of the Bread and Butter King

He had no power, but he was insanely ugly and loud.
An actor wanted to play him on stage in a theater.
Ratio, a subject said, “He is as selfish as they come, a real anteater.”

My Bread and Butter
You are the bread and butter of my life.
You are the rainbow from yesterday's storm,
As lovely as that rainbow was in the sky,
It was your beauty that spoke your love,
While I wondered at your eyes.
You are the bread and butter of my life.
Your sweet humming brings up my moods,
You know I worry about my job

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

Bread and Butter
Bread and butter on the plate
It is what everyone hates
Bread and butter on the plate
Someone is searching for a date
As morning comes alive
He began to search for his wife
He passes through the market place
With a bag on his back bending down and
Spinning around with a terrible frown
I wonder what he is thinking and how much
Money

Bread and Butter Boat
An engineer designed ingenious boat
Bread and butter he constructed with
Believing it the best for long journeys
Both food store and water-car it was
Passengers clambered and fought hard
As seats were very few and time limited
It was amazing to use bread- butter boat
The unborn, young, old craved to use it
Yet all who rode it went

Bread and Butter
G-ood morning sun rises,
E-nding the night of bad weather;
N-ew day twenty-two breaks,
E-arly dawn in December.
L-et me just rise or wake
Y-ou up right from your bed;
N-ighttime is already over, find out the butter and bread.
P-ray to the Lord Almighty,
R-equest for fine future;
E-ver merciful as He is,
S-weet success is for

Bread and Butter
Black clouds grow ominously in the distance
The sun dances on the happy blue sky with smiles
Rain drowns plants that have fallen in disfavor
Colors of flowers are kissed by angels on the wing
Monsters devour them in evening with black teeth
Children sing. Farmers plant vegetation, are at one with nature
Clouds still gather at the fringes sinister
