I’m at the bottom of the bottle, if I send it out to sea
Would it go all the way to China, turn around and be washed back to me?
If I build a house of cookies, and place inside a room of bees
Will their sweet honey turn to fairy dust and sprinkle sparkles on my knees?
If I were to breathe in deep enough, would my lungs eventually explode?
If there are butterflies in my stomach, where do their cocoons grow?
If I had infinite mounds of money, could I buy everything on earth?
And if I dabbled it in liquid gold, would I multiply its worth?
Would I be considered human if I had rainbow coloured eyes?
If I had been born without a heart, would I still tell so many lies?
