Peppercorn High

My stomach is full

but I’m wide awake

why is that you ask

peppercorns

sharp to the tongue

and bitter to taste

why is that you ask

peppercorns

I expressed my love

to a peppercorn

one day

and to my surprise

he had nothing to say

I buttered him up

I shaved him down

because he was giving me

the go-around

round me to the black

round me to the white

round me to the food

that I spiced last night

round me to the jungle

round me to the store

peppercorn, peppercorn

I don’t want you no more
