Why what is the reason?
Put the waffles in the toaster
No take them out
Put the waffles in the oven
No take them out
One times two
Two times three
Three times four
And so on? Really
What am I saying
What is the imagery, the symbolism
to these arbitrary meanings?
Why does Tim put his waffles in a toaster
and an oven?
Why does Tim count every damn multiplication
problem one by one?
Why you ask, What's the reason?
Listen… There is none. You read this
Expecting a deeper meaning didn't you?
Didn’t you? Didn’t you think I would tell you
in this part. Fool stop reading to find a meaning.
Read to read, Learn to learn,
Don't expect but crave the mystery.
Some things cannot be explained. Tim does
these things because he is cool or unique or whatever you want to say.
Not everything has to have a meaning behind it,
Sometimes things exist just because they do.
