Where Computations Love Cabbage Soup
An inauspicious bread-line debut
Of all the places I coulda met you
Your smoldering eyes, the cabbagey smell
And lingering mildew of your prison cell
You stole m'heart outside the soup kitchen
The tic in your neck, your eye all atwitchin'
I'll call you my lil snaggletooth honey
Let's rig us a snare, and chew up a bunny.
I'll build us a shack made out of cardboard
A cozier love nest we cannot afford
We'll make us a baby, and call him Art
Fashion a crib from an old shopping cart
We'll raise up a brood in our corrugated cottage
He'll find friends and playthings in the bins of garbage
We'll cull gourmet tidbits from swank cafe dumpsters
Now what rhymes with dumpster is a real stumpster
We'll save for our retirement with buttons and cans
In crowds, panhandling, you'll handle the pans
Bit by byte we'll make it grow
And then we'll toss it to and fro
