Mommy, dear, why do you cry
at the toast
the eggs
the strawb’ry jam
(I may have spilled across your bed)?
Look, dear Mom, at this great card
I made in school
with all the cray’ns
(stuffed in my pack)
forgot, till now.
But-
Mommy, dear, I love you so!
through tears
a sniff
a strawb’ry hug;
you smile and say, “I know.”

Yes; jam is certainly sticky. 😉

You can use it for glue if you’re in a jam.
