i can make a poem out of saltwater and string;
i can make a poem out of thimbles and thyme.

i can make a poem out of necklaces and teeth,
i can make a poem out of you and me.
i can make a poem out of rhymes and reason.
i can make a poem out of nonsense and Alice in Wonderland.

i can make a poem out of cliches and pretty boys.
i can make a poem out of life and ugly men.
i can make a poem out of that guy from House and offbeat references.
i can make a poem out of revolution and Epsom salt solutions.

i can make a poem out of saltwater and string;
i can make a poem out of thimbles and thyme...
