    I’m Thinking about You

    by Sarah Brownlee

    I’m thinking about you
    Like a fork thinks about a spoon
    Like the sun thinks about noon
    Like a werewolf thinks about the moon

    I’m thinking about you
    Like my stomach thinks about lunch
    Like teeth think about crunch
    Like detectives think about a hunch

    I’m thinking about you
    Like a building thinks about its super
    Like we think about the future
    Like rap fans think about Future

    I’m thinking about you
    Like ABBA thinks about Waterloo
    Like smoke thinks about a flue
    Like a toilet thinks about poo

    I’m thinking about you
    Like solid thinks about gas
    Like volume thinks about mass
    Like a gentleman thinks about class

    I’m thinking about you
    Like a clock thinks about time
    Like lemons think about lime
    Like this poem thinks about rhyme

    I’m thinking about you
    Like pyramids think about Giza
    Like towers think about Pisa
    Like Mona thinks about Lisa

    I’m thinking about you
    Like a groom thinks about a ring
    Like a mattress thinks about a spring
    Like nobody thinks about Bing

    I’m thinking about you
    Like Rachel thinks about Ross
    Like a stone thinks about moss
    Like Fortnite thinks about floss

    I’m thinking about you
    Like trouble thinks about toil
    Like olives think about oil
    Like victors think about the spoil

    I’m thinking about you
    Like bananas think about split
    Like clothes think about fit
    Like a catcher thinks about a mitt

    I’m thinking about you
    Like a catcher thinks about rye
    Like Sylvester thinks about Sly
    Like tie thinks about dye

    I’m thinking about you
    Like a woman in a trance
    Like song thinks about dance
    Like I think about romance

    I’m thinking about you
    Like the sand thinks about the sea
    Like a pod thinks about a pea
    Like I hope you’re thinking about me
