Crazy conversations!
A nonsense talk!
What matters much?
I’m with the best people
Stuck in a pink room
Talking about heartbreaks
Overeating the pains
Till we just feel nothing
A blue lemonade,
A noodle on our side.
We just want to untie
Stress-feel in our minds.
I think this is the best
To avoid craziness
Learn to live a little
If things are too serial…
I loved my fat Thai noodles.
They were such a perfect lunch;
But after four big dumplings,
I was filled up quite a bunch.
I ate as much as I could eat.
The portion was absurd;
‘Cause when I lay my chopsticks down,
I’d only scarfed a third.
The waiter took my leftovers
And packed them in a tin,
With plastic cover and
A paper bag to put them in.
He left it on my table
And I took it when I paid,
Real pleased that dinner for tonight
Was sitting there, all made.
But walking home, quite suddenly
My meal came crashing through.
The soggy-bottomed bag had ripped,
So what was I to do?
For on the sidewalk was displayed
Pad See Ew in its glory.
I scooped it up as best I could,
And that’s the end of story.
There is a moral to this tale –
When you go out to eat,
A noodle in the belly beats
A noodle on the street!
RED ON THE HEAD,
LIKE A WEENIE ON A DOG,
LIKE A NOODLE ON A POODLE,
LIKE KETCHUP ON A LOG,
I have a brother who is eighteen,
When he was a baby he wasn't clean,
Oh how he loved spaghetti and sauce,
Most of it that was put on his plate was a loss.
First he took his fork and set spaghetti in his hair,
Then he ate and got it every where,
To tell the truth, I wasn't really there,
And my mom didn't seem to care.
I bet he had a noodle on his nose,
My mom told me it even got on his toes,
He seemed like he wanted to save a little,
He spread it on his face, his arms and his middle.
I wonder what my mommy thought,
When she saw the spaghetti she had bought,
Wasted and pasted on my brother,
Poor poor little mother!
I don't know if I did the same,
But it sure won my brother fame,
At least in the family,
But now its here for all to see.
