Bread

I could really not survive
On a diet without bread.
If I had to ditch some foods,
I’d choose other ones instead.

From a dense and chewy bagel
To a hunk of sourdough,
I get pleasure from each bite
As I chew it, nice and slow.

I prefer a crusty crust
But enjoy a garlic knot;
And if seeds are in the mix,
It will really hit the spot.

Pumpernickel, wheat or rye,
Challah, rolls or a baguette –
If I eat an extra piece,
It’s not something I’ll regret.

Man can’t live by bread alone
Is an adage people utter;
But that isn’t true for me –
Just as long as I have butter!
