P B and J

When I think of famous duos, these two come to mind
No, it's not two lovers , nothing of the kind

No famous stars strolling down a red carpet walk
Reporters following them, hoping for tomorrow's gossip talk

But they've been around to feed us a quick meal in a bind
Or to eat just for fun and they come in more than one kind

First those two fresh pieces of white wonder bread
Creamy peanut butter onto each one is carefully spread

Next choose the jelly - grape is usually mine
But there is also strawberry, apple and many others are fine

Put it all together with jelly dripping down your chin
A big glass of cold milk, let the feast begin!

Yes, I think this duo is one worth the mention
Although, it might not get all that very much attention

Nice penning Donna, enjoyed this read very much though being a Brit not really into PB & J a it isn't the same popularity as you guys across the pond. But a very good read!

Ha! What a clever take on the contest! I myself love this combo (but I've never cared much for Wonder bread... it's perhaps the health nut in me that goes for the seedy, grainier type bread). An underrated sandwhich, for sure... but I like to amp it up sometimes... every tried almond butter? It's really good on it!
