My Peanut Butter Fairy

O, she is merry
  My peanut butter fairy
Spread smooth as whipped butter
  or lumpy as chunky nutter

She blends with jelly or jam
  with bananas and lettuce too; I am
only puzzled that others tease me
  for eating sandwiches that please me

As well, many nabobs of negativity
  warn me of peanut butter's inferiority
to healthier foods that taste so yucky
  But I am the grown-up kid, so lucky

Old enough to shrug off attacks on my fairy
  Young enough to dine on PB&J with some sherry

Excellent choice peanut butter is my absolute favorite choice for any any time in the day with jam. Lovel, love it - known to be sexy if you eat a lot of peanut butter! I don't know if you have ever read my poem, The Peanut Butter Strike - true story whilst at High school. This is such an awesome poem - well written Gershon.. Hugs, Jennifer

Hahaha! Love the last line and your bizarre taste of sherry with peanut butter! Good natural PB is what I eat only, not that the commercial brands. I also like good unadulterated humus. / M

I see that when taste buds got doled out, we must have been in the same line. PB, humus -- Heavenly!... As for PB and sherry: Sherry worked well as a rhyme, but does it really taste good with PB? I'll keep that one 'under my moustache,' unless they both come up by themselves LOL. Thanks for the view and the viewpoint, 'M!' ~ 'G'

I had a peanut butter sandwich today :) I crushed up some walnuts and put some atop plain old peanut butter. But no jelly.

Hey, sounds delicious! Can you text my Fairy the precise recipe, exact proportions of walnuts to peanut butter? @pbfairy. LOL. Thanks for the idea, Kim. I'm definitely going to try it soon. :) gw

Oh, try it on a boat with a root beer float! Glad you enjoyed, my dear friend. Best wishes, Gershon
