    The strugglewich. You try to get as many calories into one sandwich as you can because you know its going to be a hot minute before you get to eat again and you don’t wanna get hunger pangs.

    The trick is having something to help wash it down. I usually do the same, except without the jelly… or the bread for that matter. Give me a jar of Pb and a spoon and I’m happy.

    I’ll sing you a poem of a silly young king Who 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 crowns Were brown and sticky from the mounds And drippings from each peanut-butter sandwich.

    His subjects all were silly fools For he had passed a royal rule That all that they could learn in school Was how to make a peanut-butter sandwich.

    He would not eat his sovereign steak, He scorned his soup and kingly cake, And told his courtly cook to bake An extra-sticky peanut-butter sandwich.

    And then one day he took a bit And started chewing with delight, But found his mouth was stuck quite tight From that last bite of peanut-butter sandwich.

    His brother pulled, his sister pried, The wizard pushed, his mother cried, “My boy’s committed suicide From eating his last peanut-butter sandwich!”

    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.

    Then all his royal subjects came. They hooked his jaws with grapplin’ chains And pulled both ways with might and main Against that stubborn peanut-butter sandwich.

    Each man and woman, girl and boy Put down their ploughs and pots and toys And 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 speak Were, “How about a peanut butter sandwich?”

    Peanut Butter Sandwich by Shel Silverstein

    Priority order of beverages for peanut butter consumption:

    3. Carbonated beverage of choice
    4. sweet iced tea (unsweetened becomes a horrible flavor, and doesn’t cut through the fats as well.
    5. Hot teas.
    6. After that point, you’re playing with your life if you try to use other drinks.
