I Licked the Knife

I licked the knife, oh heavens
never in my life have I ever licked a knife
But that glob of peanut butter clinging
to my empty tummy was loudly singing
and I felt myself bringing it to my lips
Open wide was the chorus, and greed
stood before us in the form of glorious
PEANUT BUTTER
and
I
licked that knife!
