I love bread and butter <br />and jam upon hot toast <br />and flowers in the summer <br />but I love you most. <br /> <br />I love the red spring tulips <br />and cold strawberry mousse <br />and I love chocolate pudding <br />but I love you most. <br /> <br />I love bread and butter <br />and honey for to spread <br />though honey is but nothing <br />to your warm caress. <br /> <br />I love bread and butter <br />but egg with chips will do <br />although they only half compare <br />to my love for you. <br /> <br />I dare not feign indifference <br />I love a red, red rose. <br />Their scent is ever fragrant <br />but I love you most. <br /> <br />You know I love my mother <br />and sumptuous Sunday roast, <br />I love her home made puddings <br />but I love you most.<br /><br />Ruth Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bread-butter/
