Often craving it after a morning workout

Or on a quiet fall afternoon.

The look of outrage I receive from my father, however, 

Makes it infinitely more delicious.

He likes peanut butter on toast,

He just happens to have it plain.

Why must it be revolting just because he does not agree with it,

The bananas on my peanut butter toast?

Can he not open his mind just a little?

He doesn’t have to agree, but I don’t see why

He must so openly despise and disrespect my food choices.

I put bananas on my peanut butter toast because him hating my food choices

Beats him hating me.
