Butter
MVP of the holiday feast
Slather the turkey with butter smooth and creamy
For a moist breast and a skin that’s crisp and gleamy
Bread and biscuits love butter too
It’s good in gravy, soups, and stew
This culinary lubricant
Makes everyone exuberant
About your potatoes mashed,
Your candied yams, and your green eggs and ham hash
You never know what you can achieve
With a little butter up your sleeve

One Minute to Noon
“OK, guys!” I screech over the macaw-like chatter in my sophomore English class. My students are sharing mementos they accumulated during summer vacation. The assignment is to interview each other and write an expository essay about another student’s treasure: Misty’s coquina shells and sand dollars from Florida, Ruth’s two Navajo pottery mugs from New Mexico, Roxy’s perfume from Paris, Kevin’s chocolate from Hershey Pennsylvania, a picador’s sword from a bullfight in San Fermin Spain, where one of my favorite students, Manny Pérez, ran with the bulls at festival.
