Tom Ross: The Good Bread

THE GOOD BREAD

Some got the time
some got the heat
some got the oven
but they still won't eat

some got the flour
and some got the salt
some just the water
it's not their fault

some talk of love
so big for all their life
but we got the good bread
and honey we got the knife

For the stuff to rise you gotta knead it
when your hunger's high you better feed it
when it swells up brown, hard to beat it
but when it smells that good, you better eat it

It's not by Baby Shoeless
the line is dust
of thousand-year-old lovers
who chewed the crust
instead of Baby Shoeless
the name is dust
of thousand-year-old lovers
who chewed the crust

Some got the time . . .
