An April Fool
: Buttering Up by sunnilicious


Think, think... How to butter them up?
Bread, margarine and a tea cup;
It sounds lame but they enjoy it,
Yet, black tea is the pits at night.

Think think... How to butter them up?
Toasted pound cake with fresh butter,
And mixed berries with herbal tea.
All sweet treats are good. I agree!
