Courage of Your Convictions
Poem 3: Sweet Tooth
Speaker: Jun Shigeno
Story: A Month of Sundays
The Cosmic Hunting Dogs entered the room
And heard the strange man cry, "SUBARASHI!"
He showed them the cakes for all to see
To distract us all from the angst and gloom
For me, red velvet cake I do consume
While my friends start to listen carefully
The tale of Ophiuchus's history
And the beginning of Gentaro's doom
I treat my sweet tooth to sugar and cream
And of chocolate that's starting to melt
Into a delicious and tasty dream
Happiness deep in my mind I felt
This must be a very special gift today
Because today is my eighteenth birthday.
