Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi, Andre;
Wow. I was actually thinking it was a song even before I got to your Author's notes. It didn't sound like your usual fare.
But, it is cute and tells the tale of why a man needs a woman. To bake him some cornbread!

Hello Andre,
This is a tasty poem
nothing like cornbread slathered with butter
This is an excellent story/song/poem
all you gotta do is find someone to sing it
and you'll be on the billboard charts
You even got the Piggly Wiggly in there
Cornbread with out butter's
like a ship without a rudder
Well done, my friend
Hope you have a hit
Robert

Thank you, Robert, for your delicious review. I plan to sing this song myself, but I?m submitting my lyrics to songwriting contests where the winner gets to record a demo.

Ha, Robert! I did find someone to sing it . . . myself. Enjoy.
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Good image.
-Your notes are appreciated.
-I really like the chorus, as
it gives a real flavor to the song, Andre.
-You also give that good ol'
country blues feeling to the song.
-I enjoyed it.

Oh, thank you, Pam, for your delicious review. I wrote the chorus months ago but was only able to finish the rest of my song when I took a Mexican vacation from FanStory for a day.

You are quite welcome and deserving, Andre. That was some cornbread! Thanks for sharing about writing it.

Sis--
Thanks for the FYI and thanks for this poem, or song, whatever you call it. Yes, cornbread without butter is a terrible fate! Perhaps syrup could be substituted? Not the same, I admit. Thanks for the fun poem-song.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello Sis Cat!
There is no possible way that I could ever eat cornbread without butter! I absolutely enjoyed reading your Country Western song; I only wish I could hear you sing it as well! It's fun, it's catchy, and it's just what I needed to read this afternoon!
Original and well-crafted!
My smile for the day!
Thank you!

A demo?
That would be wonderful!
Reason to bake some cornbread!
Let me know how it all turns out!

Yes, Diane, a demo. I just bought my first guitar yesterday and signed up for lessons, too.

Comment from Joy Graham
Bravo! I can hear the song in my head as I read this fun poem :) I'm sorry to say that I tried cornbread once and didn't care for it. But if it's what you like to eat and it spices up this song in a poem, then I won't complain. Well done. Now if you can only get that wife of yours back.

Yes, Joy, if that wife only came back. Thank you for your review. Many of have noted that they can hear the song in their heads.
Comment from Katya
This is totally wonderful! I've never read a more romantic poem on FanStory. Sounds great, rhythms subtle and accurate, nice repetitions. And the concept is great. Thank you for your writing.
Of course, I'm a cornbread fanatic--stone ground meal, bacon grease, buttermilk, pan sizzling hot before the batter goes in, no sugar.

Thank you, Katya, for your delicious, six star review of my song. Hearing the compliments from a cornbread fanatic such as yourself thrills me.
Comment from mvbrooks
While it's a sad story, it's a happy melody/cadence/rhythm -- it is easy to imagine the narrator speaking and -- at least for me -- it went from words on a page to a song being sung. The words are very much alive with emotion and description and I almost felt like I was at that wedding where the bride made cornbread in her wedding dress.
