Eggs and Butter

Al_47 2000 (Nogales)

I want a
big butter and egg man
can’t you see?

I want a
big man to give me a
shining ruby.

I want a
man who can give me a life
of luxury.

Can’t you see?

About this poem

I was inspired by listening to the song, "Big Butter and Egg Man." The phrase, Big Butter and Egg Man, is a vintage term for Sugar Daddy, basically.
