I GOT JELLY ON MY SHOES!
 
You ever crave a sandwich
Of peanut butter n' jam,
But when you start to make it
You end up with cheese n' ham?
 
There was this certain time
I had faith to make it great,
Thinking of the big one
To fill up my snacking plate.
 
I took out a loaf of bread
Laid out two nice slices,
Spread my butter as usual -
Already it smelled like spices.
 
My hunger was getting to me
As I took the jar of jam,
I  couldn't get the lid off -
Thinking:  "Go for the ham!"
 
The peanut butter was near
And he became the loser,
He knew what was to happen
It couldn't get any smoother.
 
Finally I mastered the grip-
To the left the lid unscrews,
Then suddenly with a slip:
 
  I GOT JELLY ON MY SHOES!
