Brewed with similar ingredients
as when baking bread,
a Maßkrug of beer in Germany
is called a 'glass sandwich' instead.
Yet, as half a loaf
is better than none,
if the glass is half full,
and another half empty,
of the two,
which is the optimal one?
here, between myself and myself,
God dwells when
He flees the world.
I found Him once
in a forgotten loaf of bread
on the steps of a hospice,
in an old woman asking forgiveness
for simply living.
He did not ask who I am.
He touched my brow
and retreated back into the wound.
we do not think.
we defend ourselves from thoughts
as from a fire burning within.
The
gift
of
life
is
a
loaf
of
love
Wrapped
in
the
warmth
of
its
sharing
And
its
supreme
nourishment
is
the
crusted
peace
of
each
shared
slice:-
A cup of tea
half-hot, half-cold
doesn't sit well with me
A loaf of bread
half-dough, half-baked
instant tummy ache
A couple of buns
one firm and round
the other
shunned
The Johnsons' vacation in Island Bay
To get there they drive an awful long way
Over hill, over dale
Then across dusty trails
They check in and get to stay half a day

One could see from his mood
That he had long been denied food;
A new way of walking pointblank crude,
Ninety-Five percent of his speeches rude!
Eyes that now like the mind brood,
Easily the same stripping nude
And a neck that had to slant
Like a non-watered dying plant.
Then, the man could by bread live alone
If God would a loaf throw down from His Throne...
Right now, still hungry and quite angry
For its not stretching to all and sundry.
The world turning vegan and we’ve lost our Meat Loaf
Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls
music that was worth the cost
A real dead singer we loved
A real dead sinner leave us
And if he’s gotta be dammed
you know he wants to be dammed dancing through the night with you,
And now we won’t do that
Forget dreaming every night of our lives,
No way, I would do anything for loaf,
but he won’t come back
took the words right out of his mouth,
It must have been that COVID 19 weaz
Like a bat out of hell was unwell when the mourners come
Now life is over like a bat out of hell he is gone gone gone
A few lyrics of Meat Load set up this tribute
so saddened by the news in my final salute
Dearest Betty, we miss you so much,
so many characters we got to know,
Your wonderful, unique, funny touch
A special one ~ "Rose's" Golden glow!
"SueAnn"made us laugh ~ MTM fare,
baked pies, made meatloaf, and sexy eyes,
shut oven door with her derriere,
innovator of delicious surprise!
You were guest on all major talk shows,
your credits are long, including songs,
your emmys~so many~the list overflows
you were everywhere and always belonged.
Yet I'll miss most your sweet, dimpled smile
and your wit~always a touch risque'.
You warmed our hearts for a nice, long while,
Still...I so wish you could have stayed.
There was a mouse named Ted
In kitchen found a loaf of bread
But during a break
It made a mistake
got inside Oh, yumderful for Ted

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
He was born in Dallas, Texas as Marvin Lee Aday.
Most of us know him as "Meat Loaf" today.
He became a great actor and recording artist.
His hit records comprise a very long list.
A great career got of the launching pad with "Bat Out of Hell".
His role as Eddie in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was swell.
Meat Loaf as a singer and actor has been quite prolific.
Up to today, multitudes of fans consider him terrific.
I thank wikipedia.org for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.

Nothing also equals space
Space for more or all
Situations place different phase of life
Yet we see some as strife while
Others see them as flight
To what life brings by
After all, breathe brings life
Life brings hope
Hope sorts faith
Faith paints future
Future leads to destination
Destination feeds Destiny
Destiny bakes purpose
Half loaf is appreciated
For nothing also equals space
Space to miss it in life.
