Poem: “Peep”

(Parody of Radiohead’s “Creep”)

[Verse 1]

When you were here before

Couldn’t look me in the eye

I’m just a little Peep

Too squishy, neon, shy

You stroll past the shelves

Like I don’t exist

I get stale and alone

In this cellophane mist

[Pre-Chorus]

But I’m a Peep

I’m a marshmallow freak

What the hell am I doing here?

I don’t belong here

[Chorus]

But on Easter, I shine!

Golden rows, pink and lime

You finally pick me out

Scream my name, no doubt

Yeah on Easter, I shine!

For one pastel moment in time

I may be pure fluff inside

But on Easter, I ride

[Verse 2]

You gobble chocolate bunnies

Hollow fools in shiny suits

While I sit, sad and waiting

In my sugar-dusted boots
