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 ]

W-well! You shouldn't be so hard on yourse-...on the person who wrote the poem! It's hard, you know!

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Go ahead and enlighten me. What's hard now?

[Video]

[meilihua]

Well, writing poetry like that, you know! I can never get everything to fit properly, and you know Teacher just keeps making you do it over if it's not right!

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I think he probably wants me to have a do over on this one too, sis.

[Video]

[meilihua]

[Hey...wait a second] Wait...what do you mean you? I thought you said someone else wrote the poem!

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, they did. But he doesn't believe that, just like you.

[Video]

[meilihua]

[You caught her] W-well, it...it...

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah? [ Waiting for her to finish, yep. ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

W-well don't let him bully you into rewriting it! [It comes out all in a rush]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ Hmm? What's this? ]

And why's that?

[Video]

[meilihua]

Well, it's not good to let him think he can always get you to do whatever he wants, you know!

[Video]

[bauhinia]

He totally can't. [ He said that a bit too quickly. ] I mean, yeah.

[Video]

[meilihua]

So...who were you writing the poem to?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I wasn't writing it to anyone. It does kinda seem like it's not to an actual icecube though, yeah?

[Video]

[meilihua]

Well um...no. Not at all. I guess I just assumed it was a metaphor...

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, pretty much. I don't know what whoever wrote it was thinking, it's pretty [ ... ] weird.

[Video]

[meilihua]

I guess it's something that comes with um...practice, right?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Practice, yeah. I practice plenty. Just not on stuff like that.

[Video]

[meilihua]

So what sort of thing do you practice on then?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I mostly draw.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Do you remember when Teacher used to make us do painting and calligraphy for hours and hours...

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, wow, don't remind me. My fingers hurt thinking about it.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Eheh...sorry about that.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Hey, don't apologize. It was my fault, yeah?

[Video]

[meilihua]

Don't you mean it was Teacher's fault?
