Peanut Butter Night
Some of you may say I'm a nutter
My tongue is smothered with peanut butter
Like a newly-shined shoe, no area is left untouched
However, this coating should have stayed in my lunch
My throat is clogging up, leaving little room for breathing
The amounts of peanut butter I've eaten, you wouldn't be believing
No need for bread, or jam, or jelly
I scoop with a spoon to fill up my belly
With the servings I consume, I'll issue this warning
It lingers in my breath until the next morning
Get some self-control, will power you say
But what betters means to finish the day
Than with guilt, self-loating, all of that clutter
And ungodly portions of creamy peanut butter
