ode to an icecube

some people say i'm tsun
but i don't think it's true
some people say i'm crazy
so yeah i'm crazy for you

okay so you're kinda an icecube
but i think you'll probably melt real soon
this line's about sea cucumbers
this line's about the moon

so we don't have much in common
we're in different hemispheres
you've gotta a lotta geothermal activity
i've got tons of skyscrapers

hey that didn't really rhyme
but here you go: my GDP's amazing
you can bet i'm the best when it comes
to investing i'm a total tax haven

that's a total lie and it didn't rhyme either
i kinda suck at poetry but i'm totally sincere
even though my expression's lacking, hey
i'll be your arthur if you'll be my guinevere

i pulled that off a lot better before
when it was a helen of troy joke
not that i'm referencing trojans here
but i still think i'm a pretty handsome bloke

give me one more chance
i'll really set you reeling
i was totally serious before y'know
i wanna know how you're feeling

[ no this isn't about anyone in particular why would you think that
also why am i posting this, why didn't someone stop me ]

Read between the lines. It's not really that polite.

But never ever tell him I told you. He thinks it's top secret.

[bauhinia]

Oh, I know that. Being polite is one of his ways of being rude. But I won't breathe a word, promise.

[fierybluebird]

I guess it is a little obvious, eh?

[bauhinia]

Depends, really. Some people are gonna just accept he's polite and not really have a reason to question.

[fierybluebird]

Oh that is sneaky then.... I wonder how many people know the truth.

[bauhinia]

How many people pay really close attention to what he says?

[fierybluebird]

Point taken.

[bauhinia]

I think he makes it easy to gloss over certain stuff.

[fierybluebird]

On purpose, no doubt.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, exactly. I think he wants to be more innocuous than he is sometimes.

[fierybluebird]

Maybe he thinks it's cute!

[bauhinia]

[ He seems to ponder it a second. ] Maybe around the guy he likes.

[fierybluebird]

Nah, he does it with other people.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, but is he really trying?

[fierybluebird]

[A shrug.] No idea. I'll have to watch him more I guess.

[bauhinia]

It doesn't seem like a bad idea, yeah? It's a good idea to keep an eye on him as much as possible anyway.

[fierybluebird]

Damn him and his cute sneakyness.

[bauhinia]

I dunno about cute, but yeah, he's definitely sneaky.

[fierybluebird]

Good. More for me.

[bauhinia]

[ You're a tad shameless, Marco. ]

Pretty sure it's all for you, bro.

[fierybluebird]

[No no, he is completely shameless.]

Better be.

[bauhinia]

[ Yeah, that sounds about right. ]

I doubt anyone's gonna try and take you on.

[fierybluebird]

Not if they have brains. I don't know that certain countries do, eh.

[bauhinia]

I'm sure I don't know who you're talking about. [ Slightest eye roll. ]

[fierybluebird]

Good. And we'll keep it like that.
