Alex's Morning Breakfast Mess Before His English Test-

Alex couldn't stop thinking about his mess
It was just so silly and depressed
But he could never forget the pork grease

That morning, Alex encountered a spill express
He had to calm himself with an arrest
Alex couldn't stop thinking about the mess

Later, Alex was spooked by a test
He tried to focus on it in English
But he could never forget his breakfast mess

Maud tried to distract him with an embrace
Said it was time to start thinking about a nest
Alex couldn't stop thinking about the mess

Alex took action like a success
The mess was like a toxic test
But he could never forget the egress

Alex nosedived like a common distress
His mind turned into rest
Alex couldn't stop thinking about the mess
But he could never forget the egress
