November

My mom left me alone at home

For three months

And all she left me

Were Twinkies

I ran out and am looking for something to eat

I can’t find the can opener

All I wanted from this life was Spaghettio’s

I told you that’s all I wanted

And if I could I would live inside the Spaghettio’s factory

And be a Spaghettio chef

I’ve attended a school with courses in cooking

But they never taught me the recipe for Spaghettio’s

Or for Twinkies

How do they make them?

Where do they come from?

Who am I?
