On Top Of My Head

When I was just a little baby boy

I wasn't able to perceive things.

Just had questions a lot,

Though I still have them now.

But time's different,

Those days it was loud and unclear.

Like why was ice cold and fire was hot?

Like why was cake delicious and spinach was not?

Like why was present get and past was got?

Like why was fire engine red and white was astronaut?

Like why was human limited and limitless was robot?

Like why was native bought and exotic was boycott?

Like why was steel stainless and iron was wrought?

Like why was chicken on rod but corn was on cob?

Like why was dog bred but bread was bought?

Like why was coffee in blender but tea in teapot?

Like why was gunshot lethal but injurious was mugshot?

Like why was mistake unintentional but crime was plot?

So you might find me a weird boy

But this is just an afterthought

Everyone's bit crazy

Does it hurt to be a lot?

Or even if you don't understand

Then it might be your brain that's rot

Don't blame me if it offends you and you are distraught

Cause I think it's funny and that's why its bought

By so many perspiring readers, not you crackpots

Or it might just be the ink which is now same as the pressure

With these croptops, sunspots, killshots, mountaintops,

megawatts, barbershops, robocops, rustybots and whatnots.

Though I still wonder, why is a German called Kraut?

Well I guess, it's all on top of my head!
