If you were a carrot

and I was a sprout

I’d boil along with you

I’d sit on your plate

If you were a tadpole

and I was a frog

I’d wait till your legs grew

I’d teach you to croak

If you were a conker

and I was a string

we’d win every battle

we’d beat everything

If you were a jotter

and I was a pen

I’d write you a message

again and again

If you were a farmer

I’d be in your herd

if you were a popsong

I’d sing every word

I wish I could tell you

that I like you a lot

but you’re like a secret

and I’m like a knot.
