Bad Loaf

I am bread without the butter

Filling, but not quite the full effect

I am the heel of the loaf,

The piece you only eat

When you really are that hungry

Satisfying, but not quite satisfactory

I am the slice with the moldy spot

The one you can only eat half of

Tainted, but not yet completely lost

I am the loaf thats gone stale

Crisp, but not because im toasted

I am whole wheat when you wanted white,

And white when you wanted rye

I am never what you want,

But I am what you get
