It doesn’t matter How you dress it up (The market Has any number of condiments that try) A week old loaf is still a lump That's lost its flavor A slice from which Isn’t worth The price |

But so many see only the dressings... don't bother to look closer as they grab. *S* I like this very much! *S* |

Except perhaps for rye, which gets better for a day or two if you don't cut it, then coasts for a bit. Rye, wry, just a matter of spelling, eh? ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

To me, this has a very metaphorical message behind it. It makes me think of good and evil, I don't know why. Wrong is wrong no matter what "condiments" you slap on it. Very nice poem.
