lyrics

what adventures might this midday bring?
leftovers with soup is just the thing
raining rather hard out there today
not that we could go out anyway

onions, sauce, and pasta with some beans
set it and forget it ‘til it steams
then forget for longer so it’s paste
cold and wet, like bad weather would taste

let’s cook some clouds and add the sunlight later
some eggs so underdone I wouldn’t serve without a waiver
we’ll try a tuna bake
potatoes a la steak
your lentil surprise, and surprise! it’s surprisingly good, well, fine, well—

casserole is sounding pretty nice
time to get ambitious with the spice
what goes well with yellow turmeric?
several tablespoons should do the trick

gather round the cans and have a think
for some inspiration have a drink
maybe pour the drink into the can
now you seem like someone with a plan!

let’s cook some clouds and add the sunlight later
the sourdough’s too sour but I think that’s just the flavor
my only prides and joys
my infinite yeastie bois
my several billion lactobacilli and me are happy—

let’s cook some clouds and add the sunlight later
I’ll eat it all myself and I’ll be doing you a favor
I’m struggling to chew
but at least I’m eating with you
and you’re the only dinner guest I need!
