Quatrain of Margarine Love - 1080

Quatrain of Margarine Love

Margarine - butterlike product, not quite
the real deal

To love you, wholesome and true,
turns out to be weirdly
difficult to
maintain,

My real love, soured so quickly,
I was forced to supplement
an urge rather
lame,

Nonetheless, I gave it my all,
I loved with as much emotional
realism I could
utter,

In the end, like so much in life,
I lightly spread my love as
a substitute for
real butter.
