  3. Peanut Butter Sandwichby Shel Silverstein • I'll sing you a poem of a silly young kingWho played with the world at the end of a string,But he only loved one single thing—And that was just a peanut-butter sandwich. • His scepter and his royal gowns,His regal throne and golden crownsWere brown and sticky from the moundsAnd drippings from each peanut-butter sandwich. • His subjects all were silly fools For he had passed a royal ruleThat all that they could learn in schoolWas how to make a peanut-butter sandwich.

  4. He would not eat his sovereign steak,He scorned his soup and kingly cake,And told his courtly cook to bakeAn extra-sticky peanut-butter sandwich. And then one day he took a biteAnd started chewing with delight,But found his mouth was stuck quite tightFrom that last bite of peanut-butter sandwich. His brother pulled, his sister pried,The wizard pushed, his mother cried,"My boy's committed suicideFrom eating his last peanut-butter sandwich!"

  5. The dentist came, and the royal doc.The royal plumber banged and knocked,But still those jaws stayed tightly locked.Oh darn that sticky peanut-butter sandwich! The carpenter, he tried with pliers,The telephone man tried with wires,The firemen, they tried with fire,But couldn't melt that peanut-butter sandwich. With ropes and pulleys, drills and coil,With steam and lubricating oil—For twenty years of tears and toil—They fought that awful peanut-butter sandwich.

  6. Then all his royal subjects came.They hooked his jaws with grapplin' chainsAnd pulled both ways with might and mainAgainst that stubborn peanut-butter sandwich. Each man and woman, girl and boyPut down their ploughs and pots and toysAnd pulled until kerack! Oh, joy—They broke right through that peanut-butter sandwich A puff of dust, a screech, a squeak—The king's jaw opened with a creak.And then in voice so faint and weak—The first words that they heard him speakWere, "How about a peanut-butter sandwich?"
