2/3 cup fire,
1/2 cup ice,
A dash of something charming,
A pinch of something nice.
3 lbs of wisdom,
5 lbs of heart,
A handful of humor,
(That's a good place to start.)
4 teaspoons of awkwardness,
2 liters of strength,
Mix, then use a rolling pin 10 inches in length.
Bake at 350°,
Then top heavily with bacon.
Whatchya makin'?
Sloppy Joes.
