I am a Peppercorn

by Ben McCormack

I am a peppercorn

see how I run

Save me from my bite

I am a peppercorn

Rub me on a steak

Take my dignity

I am a peppercorn

I have known you in the twilight

Grant me a wish

Grant me a kiss

Then grind me to bits

and rub me on steak

and chase me with scotch,

but please

make sure its good scotch.
