Then something fell-
my feelings poured like a béchamel,
it was a roux, she made a stew,
out of how I felt;
I'm so sabaw around you-
it's trouble,
trying to come across
as more than just gumbo,
but when I open up my mouth
it's just chowder,
mumbling sometimes-
I just need to speak louder,
get to the marrow of the matter
like Nilaga,
but you done got up!
And there's something 'bout ramen,
that makes me feel alone,
cooped up in a dorm room,
miles away from home;
layover in Narita, I was eating udon,
it'd be nice in sukiyaki
but they use sotanghon,
I poured on, not warm,
she's gazpacho,
if only I was conio,
entitled, and macho-
then I'd be porridge,
nourishment for Goldilocks,
but you don't hear me though.
