Peanut Butter

For kids Nothing beats peanut butter So says Skippy So says Jiff It can nourish (Ah yes But it can kill) With kids can cause a large degree of happiness Nothing beats peanut butter Always a jar on the counter "Simply GREAT for you kids Sticks to the ribs!" says mom Can't you see that inevitable smear of jelly just above the lip While with agile tongue he slathers stuff around a quick-sand mouth It's on his chin On his shirt In the sink Spoons and knives alive with it On the floor On the rug He's left a brownish-red hand print on the front door Home from school It is the one thing he can count on What? Empty? In the cupboard Quick! There's more He's on a chair On tip of his toes Well! Whataya know COOKIES!
