Buttering Up Your Bread

On which side is your bread buttered
Or is it Fluffer-nuttered?
Did you put on the slathered fat
Or need someone else to do that?

Butter is a most tasty treat
Making better all that you eat.
But unless on your friends you snack,
From buttering them up, hold back.

Save your butter for better things -
Use only for the fun it brings.
Buttering up the boss is wrong,
If workers are to get along.

But what when Boss butters the bread
And sees extra to you is fed?
May you accept such a favor
Of a treat which you so savor?

It is hard to see as a debt
When we are pampered as a pet.
Perhaps nothing back will be asked
And you will never feel harassed.

Playing favorites is a game
That is tricky by any name.
But it is one both sides might choose,
Hoping that nobody will lose.
