The Lone Pieman
The Lone Pieman: A Culinary Parable of Self-Indulgence and Missed Opportunities
Lyrics
I'm always the first in line
I prioritize being the first in line.
Even though I don't need anything
Even though I lack necessity, I still want to buy something.
Please sell it to me
Despite not needing anything, I request you to sell something to me.
It was a pleasant surprise
Discovering an absence of mess, it brings me joy.
To turn around and not see
It's surprising not to see any mess when I turn around.
Any mess but my own
I only observe my own mess, not others.
No more crows
No more crows, possibly symbolizing a change or improvement.
Who hide from the cold
Crows that used to hide from the cold are no longer present.
You had one job to do
Someone had a specific task, but they failed to accomplish it.
And still, somehow
Despite having one task, there was still a failure.
Managed to screw it all up
The person managed to mess up the assigned task completely.
Where are the goods?
Asking about the whereabouts of the expected goods.
Stuff it full
Suggesting to fill it to capacity, possibly with enthusiasm.
Everyone loves the overflow
Expressing that everyone enjoys abundance and excess.
What do we do this for?
Questioning the purpose or motivation behind their actions.
Mom and apple pie!
Mentioning "Mom and apple pie" as a symbolic reason for their actions.
Why else?
Suggesting that the mentioned reasons are self-evident.
Make it last for the trip
Encouraging to make something last for the journey or experience.
I could care less how it tastes
Expressing a lack of concern about the taste of the item.
Just serve it up to me
Simply requesting to serve the item to the person making the request.
And only me
Emphasizing that the item should be served only to the person making the request.
