Sugar Bread

Sugar Bread

You take two pieces of bread

Bunny Wrapped

Lite or White

Brown is for white folks

Opening twisted tight

No Bugs

Put up from mice

Check to see no green

Pull off any

“Little mold never hurt nobody”

Granny yells

Pull off the edges

Get the sugar in that jar

Make sure there ain't no coffee droppings

Take your bread and pour sugar on one slice

Now rub'um together

Make sure you over the sugar jar

Now eat that

Lunch

Sugar Bread

This piece was written for my first book entitled "Wounded Healer; Memoirs and Poems of a Broken Boy".  

Sugar Bread was a snack my cousins and I would often eat in the summer. Growing a prepared lunch was a rare thing in summer. So we had to make due with what we had available. Most days Ramen Noodles would be lunch but every now and then when no one adult is looking  we would indulge in the slender that is sugar bread! Ha!
