Peanut Butter Is Better

Yes, you certainly did read that right.

Peanut butter is better then bitter books because....
bitter books don't go well with your favorite jelly.
And that's just the plain truth. In a nutshell if I may.

It's simple really. If you can imagine smearing your
favorite butter be it crunchy chunky or even creamy
all over the most bitter book rather than lavishly atop
your favorite jam well then I think you can imagine
just what I mean. The pulp would stink.

And what else could be worse? So hear me versed
if you ever want to make a bitter book better than
rather slather your fave butter into it save for
the real jam and use something else, like... well ...

I don't know what would be good with bitter books
but... having said that I'll also add save your nuts
for the fruitcake anyway.






... pause ...

This is great. A lovely piece of absurdism that has a logic. I wouldn't have those opening and closing lines they read too much as an instruction to the reader. I think the poem stands alone. Just have some trust in the reader.
