I loved you, but doesn’t everyone?
I picked your name because I liked its sound
Triangles are square and orbits are round
You ate my pancakes, I combed your hair
And the others stopped keeping track of us
So now perhaps we’ll take the bus
You’re vaguely familiar in that biblical way
Like all weekdays that end with “day”
We sailed away and counted stars
I’d go with you to settle Mars
Cameras lined up in my head
They look at what my pigtails dread
You’re fond of green and blue and red
And patterns filling up my head
Maybe we would build a zoo
With cows that bark and dogs that moo
They can’t bake like we can do
A plate for one, a pie for two

Found this, wrote it a while ago.... originally for a Spektor parody collaboration idea with Sumodude, but I kinda like it as is... of course, if the collab happened that would be cool too.
