Baking Bread

The dough is dry, I mositen it, 
Playing it by my aged hands;
Love is kneading, surrendering
To the sticky dewy mass of ham. 

The table is set, the lights are dim, 
It pours sheets of water as I perfect
The bread noiselessly to hear
Little feet pitter patter. 

The batter is nice, it tastes sweet, 
It's principal ingredient being love, 
The alarm goes off, I singe my fingers
To offer you this delicious platter.
