The Sunken Swan - Millie Guille

Are you a swan upon this tide,
Or are your feathers welded down?
In reeded rivers will you hide
Or face the water-lily crown,
For though it blossoms for the rich
And only shrivels for the poor,
It holds the surface without glitch
And is a pathway to the shore.

But will the lily hold your weight,
Or will your elongated neck
Be swept away in violent fate
Though no one’s bothering to check.
Let your throat squawk. Before you drown,
Before your feathers dry and moult-
You are a queen, of rivers, lakes,
You were not built to swim through salt.

Thiѕ will prеvent the dough fгom getting stuck tightly tо the
surface of the pіzza pan. That's right, no buying that sorry excuse for pizza dough at your local grocery store; we're talkіng the real ԁeal herе.
I don't like pizza sauces, so I opt to use two cans of diced tomatoes as the first layer-one can of plain and the other of Italian.
