Peanut Butter Cup

I think Jack wants me fat.
In fact I am sure of that.
I always ask for one scoop.
Waistlines expand with that gloop.
He insists on giving three.
All for the same fee.
Poor, poor pitiful me.
I can't resist you see.
Peanut Butter Cup counter.
The place where I always flounder.

It is for me James. I go when I want to switch off. Sometimes, at an afternoon show, I have the cinema to myself......like Michael Jackson.

Hi Andrea. Like you I love movies and go to the cinema a lot. I was thinking of Snatched until I read a comment on your cinema review post recently.That leaves Arthur. Should I venture I wonder? My extra large tub is calling to me.

My Daddy used to say "You are only young twice." It must be that child in me that can "resist everything except temptation."

I can relate to your cute poem Jean. I adore peanut butter flavor. I am semi vegetarian and peanut butter is a great protein for me. I am sure I would love the ice cream. 7 ; )

Jack is the DJ who spun the discs at Rena's 21th Tim. He works at the local cinema. I was a classmate of his mum.
