How to Make the Best Butter
Red Guernsey cow caught in a ray of sun
stainless steel churns that carry milk in
taken to the dairy by a silver tanker
blended by beaters before evening
into butter with a little salt, a little wait,
then it’s glorious gold, ready to be spread
on a slice of bread for breakfast.
stainless steel churns that carry milk in
taken to the dairy by a silver tanker
blended by beaters before evening
