On top of spaghetti
Reflecting on a situation involving spaghetti.
All covered with cheese

I lost my poor meatball

When somebody sneezed
Explaining the cause of meatball loss - someone sneezed.
It rolled off the table
Detailing the movement of the meatball, rolling off the table.
And on to the floor
Continuation of the meatball's journey, now on the floor.
And then my poor meatball
Reiterating the misfortune of the meatball.
Rolled out of the door
Describing the meatball rolling out of the door.
It rolled in the garden
Tracking the meatball's path into the garden.
And under a bush
Further movement under a bush.
And then my poor meatball
Repeating the meatball's unfortunate journey.
Was nothing but mush
Conveying the state of the meatball after the ordeal, turned into mush.
The mush was as tasty

As tasty could be
Continuing the story into the next summer.
And then the next summer
Revealing the transformation of the mush into a tree.
It grew into a tree

The tree was all covered
Portraying the tree fully covered with moss.
All covered with moss
Highlighting the growth of meatballs on the moss-covered tree.
And on it grew meatballs

So if you have spaghetti
Advising caution when having spaghetti covered with cheese.
All covered with cheese

Hold on to your meatball
