In Praise of Toast

I love myself a cracker
With a piece of cheese
Just not in early morning
Toast for me then if you please

To me it’s like a cracker
A steady support slab
For something nice and tasty
Just butter? Mostly drab

How ‘bout peanut butter
Or maybe with some jam
You could layer a piece of swiss
Put it with some ham

Or maybe go for creamy
Avocado toast
Cream cheese? Not just for bagels
That’s one I love the most

I once spread ricotta
You have to add some salt
Keep that one between us
Put it in the vault

It has to do with texture
The crunchy paired with cream
The thing is toasting matters
Burned will make me scream

Of course I have to mention
The classic diner pair
See a plate with eggs show up
Toast likely right there

Yes I do love a piece
Of crunchy toasted bread
But more and more the carb load
Fills me with some dread

Maybe just one slice
With a favorite topping
Just cut back a little bit
Instead of fully stopping
