Parody

There’s time to forget and try not to remember     If it’s the middle of October or December     Or at least I will try to not cogitate                  A date without a date
 
Where food smells and the air stinks             As lips touch and an eyeball winks                      Chatter clambers clandestine spots                       As desires turn into secret plots

Well, despite a night would prove great        But the hammer smashes and the nail grinds               And we sink in the sands of time                          In a moment that isn’t mine

So then why should I bother to be-                 A  person that’s really not me                   Crash and burn they say                                But this time I can’t have it my way            And supernova flies the sky and fades away

Well this is quite unfinished like homework   And Cinderella deserts the ball and   Charming can’t find her glass shoe              And Snow White still lies dead                 Cause that stupid Prince loved himself instead.
