The Box

I had a box
A box that could talk
I looked inside and found
A yellow ribbon
So I took that box
For a long, long walk
And we had a talk
And went to look for a friend
And I had to eat you
We went shopping
The whole while talking
We fell upon a little egg
And the egg started talking
Could this be true
Have I really found you
To stop this box from talking
Well I must eat you
And I had to eat you
Have I really found you
The egg is terrified
But not to my surprise
But I had to stop him
This box from talking
So I said goodbye
And I see you both next time
And I'll be along my way
But the ribbons will always stay
And I had to eat you
Have I really found you
