The vacuum exists
Outside the know and the think
And beside the storm

There was once a man
Who are twenty sandwiches
A day-he was hungry

One day the sandwich
Man went to a boy who said
"There is no sandwich"

The sandwich man said
"I don't know about you, but
I want a sandwich"

The sandwich man's best
Sandwiches are PBJ
His ham was good too

So one day he thought
Hw would get a sandwich wife
So he went looking

He looked far and wide
But he could not find her there
He wept, wanting her

But then he found her-!
She was the sandwich lady
She was beautiful

So he married her
And he left good for a while
But he was tempted

And then one day he
Was walking down the street when
BAM, BAM-- he got shot

I know that you are
Wondering why I wrote this
Do not ask questions

I would really love
Some strawberry pancakes, oh
Lord I love them so
