Don’t butter me up, baby
I am not a whole wheat toast
I am not your raisin bagel
or spring chicken roast.
I am not a chunky duck
or pancakes that you stack
I am not your honeybun
or red potato baked well-done.
Don’t butter me up, baby
don’t flirt if you don’t mean it
I’m not a bag of soggy popcorn
I’m a hot berry peppercorn.
