Special Anxiety Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Walking slowly on the metaphorical tightrope
Afraid that it will snap at the worst possible time
Wondering why it was such a good idea to do this
Many people lived reasonably comfortable lives on the ground
With no desire to soar above with the birds
Doing feats of daring do for nothing except the thrill
Of defying the odds and making people nervous for you
Secretly hoping that you will slip and fall
A cruel but true wish sadly for many
Who loved to have good ratings and a memorable event
To latch onto for many years to come
Started to realize the gravity of situation
Legs trembling at worst possible time
Palms sweating for no particular reason
Caught in a tremendous panic of epic proportions
Probably been done before in a Mel Brooks movie
Can't explain the feeling of endless falling
Down an infinitely large grey stone well of depression
A color that's never good for anyone
Not even on the most lethal Attica residents
Always waking up in a boiling hot pool
Of sweat and mental fatigue
A mixture that had the same odor as moldy cheese
Nauseating to behold every weekday morning
Even after drowning the stench in Tommy Girl
A constant stressor that doesn't get better in daylight
Personal fears have suddenly evolved
Into a series of exhausting night terrors
That would even turn James Bond into strawberry jelly
Visions of a dire future dancing instead of sugar plums
A demented fantasy that many realists would love to forget
Have turned those sugary impulses towards something else
Creating a special blend of baked treats for the whole family
Just have get things right before serving them to the public
Only a matter of time before that happens
Throwing out all of the burnt failures in the meantime
Looking to forget the culinary mistakes before moving
Onto greater kitchen creations
Ready, set, bake away the stress.
