Shovel Wielding Mortal

I was doing just fine before I met you
And you seemed to be just fine and dandy too
And I can say without a doubt that I don't need you
And for both our sakes I hope I never do
But I've got choices every day laid out before me
I need a vision and a plan to see me through
So I'll be making my way down to see you shortly
I envision myself out there choosing you
Said the foreman, boy you are what you can handle
You'll need to pull your weight above the bottom line
And to the gods above you couldn't hold a candle
But you'll be paying bills if you can cover mine
So I said, am I not just a shovel wielding mortal
I can work beneath the candlelight just fine
And for to line your pockets I will spit and toil
I'll push my boot from heel to toe along the line
I was doing just fine before I met you
But things are still alright with you a'hanging 'round
And to the gods above I still can't hold a candle
But things are looking fairly bright here on the ground

Bread Baker Breakdown

You take a small glass bowl, flour, H20
Let it sit for a couple of days
You can store it, you can use it, don't forget to feed it
Stir it up well, scoop half of it away
Flour, salt, milk and butter
Toss it all together, mix in the starter
Baby let me be your bread baker, let it rise
