Very Bad Poetry

I am the great sustainer
Of the poor and lonely student
And other people who
With money are not prudent

I sit in the back of the fridge or cupboard
Until needed by the desperate
Who sparely smooth me onto
Leftover thin cracker biscuits

Small children stick a knife in me
Then lick it and put it back
I am sometimes used immorally
Or lasciviously consumed by the fat

And although it is a varied life
And it is lovely to be needed
When not in use, I’m shoved to the back
Neglected and slowly turning rancid
