Food for Thought - original

Food for Thought is the food-based breakup song the world didn't know it needed.
I wrote this, and you know what? I think the lyrics turned out nicely. They're pasted below. I hope you enjoy listening to my music.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I’m cooking up a stew
I’m rockin’ the potlucks
I’m talk of the town
Like who is the fella who’s got the root vegetables down
I’m whipping up some brunch
I’m skilled with the skillet
I waffle, I bake
And I’d take a gamble on any old scramble I make
How the thoughts stood still when stakes were high
I fumbled fishing for a line
I crumbled wishing I could
Mix in with your palette but my
Lightly tossed word salad was too
Oily so this boy leafed through the
Cookbooks for advice against the clock
We had the spice but not the stock
All that’s left now just a
An old cookie crumble
A memento
Food for thought
I’m making split pea soup
I’m real epicurious, trying homemade with ham-hocks
Yeah I’m serious, nothin out of the box
I’m clippin up some thyme
I grow my own rosemary
Parsley and sage
Heartbreak like all the old sayings
Gets better with age
How the thoughts stood still when stakes were high
I fumbled fishing for a line
I crumbled wishing I could
Mix in with your palette but my
Lightly tossed word salad was too
Oily so this boy leafed through the
Cookbooks for advice against the clock
No matter how the dish was peppered
Its success remained in jeopardy
The mess was something deeper
In the base how long to steep
Or maybe we were face to face with
Oil and water in the bottom of the pot
And what we got
Would not suffice
We had the talk
We had the spice but not the stock
All that’s left now just a
An old cookie crumble
A memento
Food for thought
