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
