spleen of newt tongue of blubber

foul things toads eat for supper

a potion this fine

will strenghten a spine

swallow with bread and butter.

A Sweet kiss at morn
                                            bread with butter and coffee
                                                       is it holy day?...

Bread and butter for the just
tasteless soup for the wild

Glory for the Godly
betrayal for the aggressive

Oxygen for the vanquished
ammonia gas for victors...

Charlie and Marley maculate giraffe
Looking immaculate with a soft laugh
Dinner at Bread and Butter
Had their stomach a flutter
Through the window they ate shocking the staff

My dearest internet
My bread and butter
If you disappear
I am fretting

When typhoon strikes
You are nowhere to be found
When power shutdowns
I fiercely frowned

You are the source
Of my resource
My happiness
My brightness.....

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

Stages of Life. 

Egg and bacon
Beans and deep fried bread
Breakfast 
Beans on toast
The bacon disappears first
Then the slices of
Fried bread and toast
No more beans
One slice of bread no butter
Sugar- free marmalade
Caffeine free coffee  
No more said about ageing...

Friday Night Dinners

Waiting in line
Table for five
Peanuts on floor
Country songs blaring
Crazy loud voices
Time to dine
Bottle of beer
Bread and butter
Petite filet rare
Loaded baked potato
Extra sour cream
Crisp Cesar salad
Ice cream sundae
Time to go
Kisses and hugs………
Life is good...

Writing and Clutter.

My writing adds to my clutter.
NOT my bread and butter.

Maybe I should complain to another.
As I did as a child to my mother.

Now wishing to stay out of the gutter.
I need to sell some of my clutter.

I must not flutter but set my rudder
And try my best not to stutter....

THE DAY IN A LIFE

Please, lowly and so very hairy worm,
believe ! You must have faith, your luck will turn;
your somewhat desperate soon-to-be flutter
will cause provision - of bread and butter -
to a family's table very far away;
this thought really ought to be making your day !

socks and shoes
peanut butter and jelly
bread and butter
salt and pepper
stop and go

black and white

addition and subtraction
multiplication and division
bride and groom

mom and....
sister and.....
teacher and.....
grandma and......
some pairs so obvious. we can all fill in the blanks....

I know that poetry
is not everyone's bag
(dime or nickle);
and its taste 
makes many gag;
and the labor
intense as it must be
certainly not for those
who lag – 

but for the poet
while most often
not his bread-and-butter 
he senses God, somehow
a complicit Brother

closer His heart

and Spirit Divine...

You're their cup of tea, their bread and butter
A real cash cow, drink straight from your udder

If you want laws passed,be a dentist
They'd rather be your ventriloquist

Bickering over minimum wages
Taking their cues from a criminal's pages

You can't pass go and you can not trespass
Unless you are a member of Congress...

The Not So Perfect Woman 

Last night when my heart was in a flutter
Around to Angelina's house we'd go
I was hungry so she fed me bread and butter
Then she walked upstairs moving very slow
 
Her teeth she would lay upon the table
Her curly hair was hung upon the bed
As I was there to show her I was able
I saw her screwing off her wooden leg....

He does not words utter
Nor heard syllables mutter
But a heartbeat is aflutter
With his sighting a shutter
Of a clinic answering “What’s the Matter”.
That would life save but funds scatter
His honest last savings shatter…

On his head a hammer’s clatter
Of a fever seeking to him batter;
A just consumed bread and butter
Vomited in excited gutter....

Freedom is like a flame of fire
Giving light at night
And warming cold moments
It’s a fire that burns obstructions on the way
It gives one wings to float with the wind

Unbounded freedom
Is sweetness to a decaying tooth
To the liberated and footloose
It’s not only an end 
Beckoning with a smile to jive
But a beginning,
And it’s not every beginning
Which is just bread and butter...

Brendon earns his bread and butter
as an artist at Anna's -
Anna's Beauty Salon. 
He places the smock across my shoulders
as if it were a feathered gown; 
I feel resplendent already.
Removing the pencil from my messy bun,
he unfastens my hair with
hungry hands. 
His fingers dance with intrigue like the
balloons bobbing on the mirror..

He is the cat and I am his cream....

Where you and I sit side by side,
Talking and laughing during this joy ride,
Lost in the company of one another,
Loving this time we have with each other,
Everywhere we go we are always together,
You and I will last forever,
Inseparable just like bread and butter, 
I would always protect you like a brother,
Although I am not a king and you are not my queen,
I would treat you with nothing less then royalty....

Break, break, break, 
   Break into blissful beat, break
   Break into dynamic dance, break
   Break into rapturous reverence, break
   For your bread and butter, break.

But breaking I will also break 
    Into woeful tears, break
    Into a panicky run, break:
    Tears for good days gone
    A run after decent meals, done.

Break, break, break
   Breaking we will break
   Two sides breaking....

Don't expect an hors d'ouervre when you're out of work, mate!
Blame that on politics or blame it on your fate.
However much you mutter,
from now on it's bread and butter.
Just pretend you're on a diet.
You'll be happy if you try it.
Don't think you're in a ditch
but take pity on the rich.
To them it doesn't matter
that poor health awaits the fatter.
Dear reader, be a mensch.
Don't criticize my French....

Comedians often make us laugh,
Oh! Some of the things they say.
Merry are their amusements,
In every sort of way.
Comediennes have that special appeal;
Of similar ilk to the comedian.
Much is of frivolity you know;
In 'turns' each others jokes they steal.
Charity of each is rarely seen,
Often as not on the television screen.
Minced words are their bread and butter.
It really doesn't matter for that
Comic Relief that splits the spleen....

Gelt

quintessential of the mankind 
for bread and butter
for toys and desires
for a ride to long highways to high mountains 
for a disease's physic to treatments to obsequies

Quintessential of the mankind 
Owes to his sweat and blood 
Owes to his sacrifice and slumber 
Owes to his peace and passion 

The gelt 
The quintessence of their incessant days 
The quintessence of their relentless dreams 
And I want diamonds that owes to the gelt......
