Cartoon Network Love

by Jhoana Rose Juen

In vain I cry, “I-am-not-your-boyfriend!”

Yet, Panini you insist, you persist.

“Oh Chowder, Chowder!” I can see no end.

Panini can’t you see. This common trend?

You marvel, you gaze; I flee, I resist.

In vain I cry, “I-am-not-your-boyfriend!”

My fancy you want? That I cannot lend.

There’s no saying how we could coexist.

“Oh Chowder, Chowder!” I can see no end.

I‘m not sorry, your wrecked heart I won’t mend.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m no solipsist.

In vain I cry, “I-am-not-your-boyfriend!”

It’s so simple, so clear, I’m just your friend

My dear. Take your name off the waiting list.

“Oh Chowder, Chowder!” I can see no end.

If you might just read this poem I’ve penned..

But you just reminisce-- of when we kissed.

In vain I cry, “I-am-not-your-boyfriend!”

“Oh Chowder, my Chowder!” This is the end.
