Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich
Too good to be good for you.
Steal a loaf if you must
Be sure it has a crunchy crust
squishy white, slices or bun
Grainy, healthy, should be shunned
***
Yellow goodness, nature’s sweet
Are you ready? Time to eat
Not too green and not too ripe
You gotta get the timing right
***
Grab the jar down from the shelf
I could eat it all myself
Sticky brown, sounds just gross
It’s the spread I love the most
Stick my finger in the jar
Don’t let Mum see where you are
***
Now that you have all the bits
Time is nigh, to assemble it
Smother slices nice and thick
Thick enough to make it stick
Slice bananas, plonk them on
Too much ‘nana’ is never wrong
No time now to make it regal
How is such a concoction legal
Squish it down, salty sweet,
Still my favourite snack-time treat

Damn it, I'm 61 now, which means I'm into my fourth year on Vocal, I have an interesting collection of stories. I love the Challenges and enter, when I can, but this has become a lovely hobby.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

I have never been able to get into those! PB on a piece of banana, but not inside bread. Nice job!
This entry's great, it made me sing. PNB goes with everything!
Oh no. This is still my favourite weird snack food. I often have it for lunch at home. Weird fact; I have two daughters, one likes banana but hates peanut butter, the other is the opposite. I can use it like Kryponite if i don't want to talk to them. Thanks for reading
Bleurgh. I like banana. I like peanut butter. I do not combine. Great poem though!
I don't like fruits except bananas, watermelon and mango. But I need to eat these as they are, not as a combination with something else. For example, I don't like banana split. I've tried banana and peanut butter sandwich and I didn't enjoy it. Guess I'm a picky eater 😅 But I always try something before knocking it. Loved your poem!
Such fun it shouldn't be legal!
