Pb & J

PB & J
 
when the bucks are 
running few and far between
and my ribs are starting 
to poke through my skin
there's one way I can win
 
only then will the old faithful
peanut butter and jelly 
sandwich pull me through
 
it's too hard to feel blue
when your belly is full 
of something that you've eaten 
since you were two
 
screw all of you 
with your fancy meals
peanut butter and jelly
seals the aches and
 pains of this tummy
just like mummy
 used to make
