Peanut butter toast

It's time to say Goodbye

to the dull drums

to the endless hours of work

to the angry co-workers

to the never-ending commutes

to the company, begging for loyalty

~

Hey, company, when were you loyal??

I screw up, I'm gone, sayonara, see ya

No, sorry to tell you this company

but f and u, because today, I'm not coming in

today, I'm playing hooky, having a good time

laughing out loud, and making memories

~

Gather round, kids I've got a treat for ya

a blast from the past, a snack Grandma

used to make, to hold us over till dinner

when we came in fresh off the school bus

before we headed back out the door

to rule the neighborhood till dark

~

That's right, Kiddos we were adventurers

rulers of our destinies, in a kingdom we

called the outside, where you'll be headed

after this delicious treat...wanna know

what it is? Hold on, ya ready for the reveal

here it is, ta-da, peanut butter toast

~

Two slices of perfectly toasted bread

with a thin layer of butter spread

evenly across the top, then covered

in warm, creamy peanut butter

that'll stick to your throat, but don't worry

there'll be milk to help wash it down

~

I'd give you what we had, but

the school, the parents association, and

child protective services would have

My ass, if I let you drink

water from the garden hose

in the backyard, like we did

~

What's that, my youngest perfect child

Nutella? don't you dare

there will be no chocolate spread

Why, you say, because back in my day

all Grandma let us have was

PEANUT BUTTER
