The Sound of Peanuts

Song/Parody

11/12/17

Hello Planter's, my old friend
Could it be we've reached an end?
As in(to) this empty can I speak
Of how my flesh was once so weak
I'd look at you and my heart'd do summersaults
Who's at fault?
It's just the sound
Of peanuts

C'mon shake that can for me
I am good for it, you see?
She laughs and says you call my name
A symphony from which I can't refrain
Nor contain myself so long as you're showing off
Halves or parts
Long live the sound
Of peanuts

I could be in dire need
Or need to be from boredom freed
Or seeking out alternatives
As my partner's allergic to tree nut plaintiffs
And your soul, it bares needed protein to my blood
At least enough
Such is the sound
Of peanuts

I can bake you in a cake
Put you in oatmeal with some dates
Sprinkle you in cookies fair
Make you a paste and remove gum from my hair
Because your oil, it does so lubricate
Fries fish great
Here's to the sound
Of peanuts

And should you wish us to debate
I'll gladly step up to the plate
You can make fun all you like
But we all have weaknesses and delight
In sight or shadow, in benevolence such as dry roast
Or honey toast
Cheers to the sound
Of peanuts

I'd not have you at the bar
That's pushing it a little far
So many strange hands in wooden bowls
Where so much more than madness grows
Yet until the end, I'll fend for your playful crunch
Nutty much?
Opulent sound
Of peanuts

It's really cool you reviewed this one, as it is a parody of The Sound Of Silence. I was attempting to not be so serious for once. I have read a few of your works now. I like your one-liners in particularly, like little profound thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
