I had an unexpected surprise for lunch today,
With an old friend from my school years;
Such a smoothie, sweet and giving,
Like a thermos of hot chocolate on the rink;
Or one to accompany some night time tea,
Or milk warmed in the pan.
My old friend,
Peanut butter and jam,
On white sliced bread.
Spread it, spoon it,
Right to the crust,
Cut it in two, eat it uncut.
Feeds a family of eight,
And leaves a smile on your face.
A muscle builder,
A brain enhancer,
And a full belly before bed.
In Canada, and most of the BC, we call jelly, jam.
