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!
