Ode to Peanut Butter

Yesterday was National Peanut Butter Day!  So in honor of my favorite treat here is my Ode to Peanut Butter.  Ok, I admit I’m no Lord Byron, and this poem does not do justice to the wonderful treat it pays tribute to.  But it’s hard to recite poetry with peanut butter stuck to the roof of my mouth!  To fully appreciate this poem, I strongly suggest reading it aloud while eating your favorite peanut butter snack.

Ode to Peanut Butter  

Peanut butter, you are a dog’s delight.

I could eat you every night!

One whiff of you in the air makes my tail wag.

I jump with joy when I see you in the grocery bag!

Smeared on bones, or Kongs, or kibble, I like you best straight from the jar.

You’d play a starring role in my memoir!

Without peanut butter there would not be my favorite treat.

Purely Oh Dog Bakery’s Chewy Peanut Butter Bones I will always eat!

I admit I cannot resist your taste.

It’s even the flavor of my favorite toothpaste!

But alas, where do you come from oh sweet ambrosia of the dogs?

How do I hunt your savory globs?

With every single nutty bite you rock my world with ecstasy.

That’s why peanut butter, this Golden Wolf will hunt you with tenacity!

Thank you Lemmy, for “spreading” your peanut butter addiction to your younger brothers.

How do I love thee, Peanut Butter? Let me count the ways…
