The Salt Bagel Critique

If the tongue were a slug, then that would be another thing

If the tongue were a slug and the teeth were a row of leaves

And if the mouth were a poplar tree, and if the hair were the autumn rains

It would be a miracle that we could even talk about this

And if the teeth were changing colors, which I guess they are

And if the teeth were falling out, which again I guess they are

And if the tongue were a slug it would leave a trail of slime wherever it went and then

All right you might have a point there, all right

But have another bite of that salt bagel

Yeah have another bite of the salt you so desperately wanted
