Imitation Poem
"Don't Ask Me Why"
Where are the keys that lock this hard heavy door
Well find them soon before I die
Don't ask me why
The food is fraud
The food is blatantly fraud
Tofu and bland meat
Worst food you'll ever meet
Find real food then we'll meet
Hurry Up
Will it happen today
Will it happen tomorrow
Cold showers
And this feeling that empowers and
then a feeling that devours and
Don't ask me why
Give me the key
Give me all the keys
I want to unlock doors
That I have yet to explore
Like the wall in my mind
Don't Ask me why
I am alive
I am dead
I will seek you instead
Like the shadow over your bed and
You'll never leave my head
I'll call your name
With words that don't speak and
perhaps play a game
of hide, go and seek
Hurry now
I want it all
I completely want it all
Death and birth
Power and worth and
Meaning on earth
Hurry up now, don't ask me why
Hurry up now, don't ask me why

"I Want It Now" by Roald Dahl
Gooses, geeses
I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter
At least a hundred a day
And by the way
I want a feast
I want a bean feast
Cream buns and doughnuts
And fruitcake with no nuts
So good you could go nuts
No, now
I want a ball
I want a party
Pink macaroons
And a million balloons
And performing baboons and
Give it to me now
I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it
All up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me now
I want today
I want tomorrow
I want to wear 'em
Like braids in my hair and
I don't want to share 'em
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream
I want the works
I want the whole works
Presents and prizes
And sweets and surprises
Of all shapes and sizes
And now
Don't care how, I want it now
Don't care how, I want it now
Gooses, geeses
I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter
At least a hundred a day
And by the way
I want a feast
I want a bean feast
Cream buns and doughnuts
And fruitcake with no nuts
So good you could go nuts
No, now
I want a ball
I want a party
Pink macaroons
And a million balloons
And performing baboons and
Give it to me now
I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it
All up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me now
I want today
I want tomorrow
I want to wear 'em
Like braids in my hair and
I don't want to share 'em
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream
I want the works
I want the whole works
Presents and prizes
And sweets and surprises
Of all shapes and sizes
And now
Don't care how, I want it now
Don't care how, I want it now
