Man Can’t Live By Bread Alone … Or Can He?
Man Can’t Live By Bread Alone … Or Can He?
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Here’s some bread for some bread at the store.
Bring back change or you’re toast, cause we’re poor.
Get me wheat bread or white,
And I’ll toast it quite light.
But this dough ain’t for anything more.
UPDATE: I’ve just learned via Cloaked Monk that today, March 23rd, is Toast Day. So don’t forget to toast Toast Day.

[...] Poetry Contest at Aridni! Contest ends on March 31. Here’s something I think should be submitted by Mad Kane. Special shout-out to Wanda at Well-Heeled. She’s got some haiku. [...]
I think you have proved your point. Without bread, we could not survive.
I enjoyed how this poem made me think about humanity, survival, and just how much a person needs to exist in the world.
Thanks Brian and Sara.
