First it was pancakes Then strawberry milk Then frozen mini pizzas Didn't taste the way They always had But I sure kept trying With apple juice from a glass Then a box and swirly straw But the crust Still wasn't soft enough So I gave microwaving a shot Years and years of beeps But the cheese was crunchy The centers, icy So I tried thawing, soaking Kids Cuisine and Lean Cuisine And even Lunchables Just in case the companies Had fooled me, ruined the recipe But none of them were bad Just not great Like they used to be So I blamed my taste buds For maturing Copying my imaginiation Christmas used to be funner Summer used to be longer Mini pizzas used to be delicious Well Today I cracked the code I was in a rush Like Mama used to be Didn't let the oven preheat Just slid in a tray of Frozen mini pizzas Kicking myself for procrastinating grocery shopping yet again and - Beep! The timer blared, the smoke alarm I burned my finger, then my tongue But didn't care because My taste buds Hadn't forsaken me After all The crust was chewy The cheese was gooey I'd done it I was six years old again Now if only I can find a trick That works for Christmas
