There Should, Of Course, Be Jam

There should, of course, be jam in our lives. Life is too short without jam. It makes everything sweeter, nicer, brighter, happier, fruitier. It is sunshine in a jar. It is joy with a screw lid. It is brighter & fruitier than a gay cruise. (the type with a boat, that is, not the other kind) It is the basis for a lovely day.

What the world needs now is more colour, that's, lots more colour, fruity colour, colourful colour, happier colour, colour that makes you feel gay, of course. 

Jam it is lovely. The colours of the rainbow, captured in glass. Every colour under the sun.

Look at it, feel it, open the lid and taste it. Dip your finger in and lick it off. Double dip your finger, life is too short. Eat it with a spoon. Suck it up with a straw. Wipe it all over your mouth. Spread it thickly on your toast. Slather your fresh bread with butter and jam, pile it on thick, role it into a cylinder.

One of the great mantras for life, there is always room for more jam.

Red, orange, yellow and Blue

You could paint it on me, I could paint it on you

Honey be careful for what you wish

What are you saying, no bee products thanks, Trish?

None of this golden brown bee juice, thanks you so much

It might be good if you want to lacquer a box

But not if you want to paint the town yellow, pink and red

Colours to make us smile, colours to make us shine

To brighten our lives, to brighten our world

Starry, Starry night like Vincent Van Gough might

Peach, tangerine, mango and blue

Finger paint. Face paint. War paint. We cheer

Except jam is never used for conflict, my dear

Only for peace, I hear the multitudes boast

This piece of bread. That piece of toast

And we all like strawberry the most

Raspberry, apricot, Pineapple and lime

Adding banana is certainly never a crime

Whatever you think is lovely, whatever you think is sublime

Adding jam to you bread has be done all throughout time
