WORLD BREAD DAY

Today is a day to celebrate bread for without its nutrients we’d all be dead.

Without bread to put inside our belly where would we spread peanut butter and jelly?

And I’m sure everyone agrees, without bread there is no grilled cheese.

When I was young I’d only bite Wonder bread so pure and white.

Then I found a bread I loved to eat, a dark and chewy one…whole wheat.

On a health kick I said, “Let’s get real.” And my choice was a simple one- oatmeal.

For Breakfast one morning I got brazen and made French toast with Cinnamon Raisin.

My mom bought one to make me grow and I discovered the beauty of sourdough.

At the downtown deli one caught my eye, a pastrami sandwich on Jewish rye.

I found out if you add a sweet pickle you could eat anything on pumpernickel.

Today to be as healthy as can be…I’ll even eat bread that’s gluten free.


As this poem gets too long this I know…pleas pass the bran…I have to go.
