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.
