Buttered Memories: Ode to Saltines
A Poetic Journey Through Childhood's Simple Pleasures
In the quiet kitchen's cozy light,
Where childhood memories take flight,
A simple pleasure, pure delight,
Saltines with butter, oh so right.
Crunchy crackers, a golden hue,
Spread with butter, soft and true,
A symphony of taste, old and new,
In every bite, a memory brews.
The butter melts, a warm embrace,
As flavors mingle, find their place,
A childhood snack, a sacred space,
In every moment, a sweet grace.
With each bite, a story told,
Of afternoons, both warm and cold,
Where dreams and laughter gently unfold,
In saltines with butter, a joy untold.
Oh, the simple joys that childhood brings,
In every crunch, a song that sings,
Of innocence and simpler things,
Saltines with butter, on memory's wings.
So let us raise a toast today,
To snacks that in our hearts hold sway,
In every memory, come what may,
Saltines with butter, forever they stay.
