Peanut Butter Miracle Whip Lettuce Sandwich
What would you like for supper, my first-and-last marriage-mate asks me so sweetly
He offers to run out to many fast food places, and not so discreetly.
He lists Arby’s first, for their turkey market fresh sandwich is sublime.
I can make one at home, I reply quickly, though it might not be half as fine.
Chicken from a chicken place? He offers, or pizza, his favorite, not mine.
Watch this, I say, as I throw open the frig, and grab out the Miracle Whip.
He shudders as I make my favorite peanut butter lettuce sandwich, so rich.
I do not know how you can eat peanut butter and Miracle Whip together, he laments.
I take a third bite, loving each savory bite, my own concoction, which tastes heaven sent.
