Majella tells me
with a big smile
she’s so happy
she learned
“the art of real butter…”
when I ask what, exactly
that is–she says, beaming
with hands pumping the air
“Yummmmmy!!….”
Still perplexed, I persist–
“OK–but could you please
be more specific
as to the art?”
“Sure…” and she gets
momentarily serious
with me–”It’s all
in the churning…”
