Peanut butter and jelly
Has always been my favorite treat
I grab my bread and knife
And I can’t wait to eat
I open the can of peanut butter
And take out one big glob
But then I put three-fourths back
For I might want more next time
I take the other slice of bread
And place the jelly on in heaps
I look at the amount I placed
And I am happy and pleased
I slather my bread with jelly
So much that the bread starts to droop
And then I place the two breads together
Of my wonderful glooby gloop
I am marveled at my magic
Can’t wait to taste these two fillings unite
But when I taste my sandwich
It just tastes like jelly delight
Not a trace of peanut butter
Can even be found
I guess I spread it too thin
And I find that quite profound
You see, they call me peanut butter
That is actually my nickname
They said I spread myself too thin
Among the ones I seem to entertain
No one ever gets that much of me
They only get an itty bitty piece
Cause just like my peanut butter and jelly sandwich
The peanut butter is so discreet
They call me peanut butter
Yep, that is my name
But I have to learn to stop spreading myself thin
And focus on just a few things
