| Butter like love | B |
| seems common enough | C |
| yet has so many imitators | D |
| I held a brick of it heavy and cool | E |
| and glimpsed what seemed like skin | F |
| beneath a corner of its wrap | G |
| the decolletage revealed | H |
| a most attractive fat | I |
| - | |
| And most refined | J |
| Not milk not cream | K |
| not even creme de la creme | K |
| It was a delicacy which assured me | L |
| that bliss follows agitation | M |
| that even pasture daisies | N |
| through the alchemy of four stomachs | O |
| may grace a king's table | P |
| - | |
| We have a yellow bowl near the toaster | A |
| where summer's butter grows | Q |
| soft and sentimental | P |
| We love it better for its weeping | R |
| its nostalgia for buckets and churns | S |
| and deep stone wells | T |
| for the press of a wooden butter mold | U |
| shaped like a swollen heart | V |
