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 ]

To both.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Y'know I already do that with you, right? [ He leans back a little, crossing his ankles. ] And Taiwan too. A little with Japan.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

I'm glad that you feel you can be honest with me.

Although you really ought to continue writing. [ Slight looming. ]

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

I'm thinking. D'you think Shakespeare wrote everything out all at once?

Never mind, don't answer that.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Something tells me you've had plenty of time to think about this.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Not that much. Maybe a little. It's different when I'm thinking about saying it to someone else, okay?

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Keep thinking about things you like about him.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

I dunno. Everything? If he doesn't think I'm being weird, it feels like we get along really well.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Why do you get along so well? You have similar interests, perhaps?

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Not too many. I'm starting to like that hipster music of his though.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Does that mean I won't get to listen to your pop music any longer?

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

I dunno, you should give his music a try.

[ He glances over. ] I'm kidding. I mean, you totally can if you want, but I like my music too.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

I might listen to a little bit sometime soon. After all, if that's what's to be played at the ceremony, then...

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Seriously, dude. Why wedding jokes, yeah?

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Did someone make a joke?

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

[ You're killing him, bro!! ]

I guess not.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

What style do you plan to have the ceremony in?

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

[ Okay, going along with it. He doesn't have it in him to resist. ]

I dunno, we'll probably have to consult his family.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

I'll try to stop China from involving himself too much, but you know how he can be.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, I'm a little familiar. [ Yep. ] Might not be so bad though, who knows?

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

If I treat him to a free meal and night at the casino he might not be able to move too much. Then he can't do much damage.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Wow. Sneaky.

I like it.

And what about England?

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

I'm sure I could find a special alcohol just for him somewhere around my place.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Define 'special.' He can be kinda picky, y'know.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Are you doubting the variety of my selection?
