Smother Yourself

SMOTHER YOURSELF WITH PEANUT BUTTER


You may like chicken and your mate might like it, too
One of you might like peanut butter as cookies but the
Other as a sandwich but that is truly no excuse to often be
Snickering and flickering when you could be getting along
And even dickering or having fun and cooking together ‘like
Two or more birds of a feather’ even if you don’t wear leather
And your name’s not Heather- you do not have to be in tethers
and dithers.

Toss out the old useless medication and all of that stalling alcohol
Switch to an alternative that needs no perspiration or prescription
Or druitions- ‘if there be no purpose it is not needed so toss it all out
And make the switch before you lose your ability to do so otherwise
You are throwing your life away without sway instead of striving

Resist not offered help no matter who or what offer it whether it be friends or
God- it really makes no difference because God is our Divine Father so who
Ever and whatever the offer comes from it’s from God- fret not over how
People communicate nor how advice is given for it has to be given when it is
given- you who need it must really listen, so listen up then smother
yourself with peanut butter
