A rewrite.

        Bread and butter

Round goes the irascible churn
And I am the butter within.
Whipped to a palatable stern
And used to the fullest chagrin.

Knifed, spread with a delicate force
A pinch of salt to add a savor
To give the proper taste of course
To a digestible flavor.

In case the symbols are not clear.
It's the married breakfast for two.
With the usual note of snide cheer
And routine turn of the screw

The rue of the opposite sex
The jousting of the practice field
The mystery of their muse complex
The strength of your parried yield.

It's the base of wedded assign
It is either that or resign.

a little raspberry spread ...
will liven up the resign of that bread  

but personally ...
I prefer me butter hot and melted ... drizzled ...

Seymour~
You can butter me up ANYTIME !
I am resigned to loving the way you spread your words.
Love - hugs - and 'Please pass the jelly !'

now this raises many thoughts...such as "you make me melt", and "butter wouldn't melt on his tongue" and "buttered up" and "butter on my popcorn, please, an extra helping..."

such as I always have extra helpings of your poems...luckily for me, you are non-fattening...{~,^}...

hugs to you!

seymour...I can only add that in my particular case? The buttered side always seems to fall, face-down! Sighs, smiles and hugs for you!

JM,
Well you won't lose any weight with lots of drizzled butter. Winkiewinkie.

Marge,
well I might just do that. *L*

Karilea,
Well I guess I'm not fattening. *K*

Serenity,
Funny comment, thanks. *L*
