Can you Freeze Cheese?
Can you freeze cheese?
Can you fry a pie?
Can you thread bread?
Is it wrong if I try?
Can you cut a nut?
Be the master of pasta?
Hum a tune with a prune?
Or would it be a disaster?
Could you run with a bun
If it weighed half a tonne?
Could you gab with a crab
Then both eat a kebab?
Sew a leg on an egg
And then feed it to Greg?
Or mistreat a fajita
Then hide it from Peter?
Should I let loose some juice
For a stubborn old goose
While you make an excuse
To some warm chocolate mousse?
Cross a lake with a cake
Topped with cinnamon flakes
While a snake eating steak
Makes ice cream with a flake?
One thing I conclude
When it comes to my food
Is I never would risk it
For the sake of a biscuit
Can you fry a pie?
Can you thread bread?
Is it wrong if I try?
Can you cut a nut?
Be the master of pasta?
Hum a tune with a prune?
Or would it be a disaster?
Could you run with a bun
If it weighed half a tonne?
Could you gab with a crab
Then both eat a kebab?
Sew a leg on an egg
And then feed it to Greg?
Or mistreat a fajita
Then hide it from Peter?
Should I let loose some juice
For a stubborn old goose
While you make an excuse
To some warm chocolate mousse?
Cross a lake with a cake
Topped with cinnamon flakes
While a snake eating steak
Makes ice cream with a flake?
One thing I conclude
When it comes to my food
Is I never would risk it
For the sake of a biscuit
