Random Baked Objects


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.

  1. Do you really give up so quickly? How is this gonna be a surprise now?

    Hehe... It's okay. In exchange, I only demand a three-page rewrite. You're welcome.

  2. If I wrote three pages of anything, it wouldn't be fit for your eyes... may I suggest you compose a sonata instead?
