someone said
“Flattery will get you everywhere”
I call bullshit
If true, everywhere is nowhere I want to go
“Butter him up”
No thanks.
Sounds like a pre-suntanning ritual
Which fits.
Oily
Greasy
Prepped for roasting
Slippery.
What’s in it for the butterer?
It’s possibly from a bygone practice
of throwing
balls of butter
at statues
of gods
To ask for a favour.
What some folks will believe, huh?
Bygone.
Bye.
Gone.
