As I sat outside I saw in surprise The principal headed our way He said "Good day!" "Now what might this be?" I squeaked, "Just my PB&J."
He stared at my sandwich And licked his lips And then he started the charade "That's a fine PB&J, I'm sure your mom made... She made it with love, it's plain to see... But my love of PB&J just won't fade..."
"You're not going to eat it.." He was having a fit "Won't you give it to me? I love it, you see!" But I said, "You're not getting my sandwich! Just leave me be!"
He was thinking it through, he was faster than I As I processed my thoughts, he pretended as though he might die He said to me, "I have three days to live," "Wouldn't you please be willing to give?" I looked him over and stared in shock As he got down on his knees and started to plead
He stood with an internal strife And gave me the most uncomfortable lunch of my life He sat beside me and just stared I didn't know what to do I was completely scared I gave in, I could take it no more "Just take the sandwhich and head for the door!"
He took no move for my sandwhich But stared angrily And I meekly stared back, quite guiltily Then he said "I never wanted your sandwhich, I'd rather be dead." He left me alone with nothing more said
To this day I remember quite clear The anger, the suspicion, all of the fear Of the day Filled with stalkage Of my poor, helpless PB&J

Ah... I don't know whether to crack up or back away slowly... I'll do both!
Very well done! I love it!
