Peanut Butter With It's Jelly-A Child's Matinee Production Performance

Today I think of your 
Contributions closing the theater’s door 
Putting together toasted bread 
Ready for a child to be fed 
Youngster wearing grape jelly 
Face down to the belly 
Laughing saying ‘this is great’
Not showing any hate  
But Peanut Butter, it is you
Who makes the mid-day matinee ever so cool 
Thank you for coming out of the nutty shell 
I would like to tell 
About the sandwich where you are 
The star 
Performing with a backup fruity band 
Bringing in all your fans 
Grabbing using two strong hands 
Not really needing added ham 
Applause when going into the mouth 
Travelling stomach south 
Toddler enjoying the mess 
Never will they confess 
Instead, go off to sleep 
Napping counting Bo and Peep 
Lovely sheep 
Who once were said 
Proclaimed Holy bread 
God’s true lamb 
Sacrificed when ended up caught in a jam  
How much do we love 
Our meal fitting like a glove 
Getting it all over ourselves 
Nutritious wealth 
Giving us good health 
Being simple as a chair 
Lunchtime afternoon’s delightful affair 
Always welcome on the stage 
No matter what the audiences age
