how about the dull
half-stick of butter
in the back of the frig?
praise to its first delicious swallow
with Christmas brown bread
and its last melting one
on July 4th corn bread
a salute to the hands that churned it
applause for the Holstein that birthed it
to its chin-shining enjoyment
with undivorceable popcorn
to its sunny color happy flavor
and hot-footed dance in the frying pan
a toast to a memorable half year
and good luck for the other half
still stuck to the holly-themed ceramic dish by memories
already turning rancid
