spaghetti on the wall meatballs on the fl oor
spoons catapult beef bombs noodle nukes drop
red sauce slides down the wall
mom wants new wallpaper anyways
the battlefield turns blue & red

three big men in black with hats knock on the door
they do not see the spaghetti war
mom talks to them i cannot hear because daddy is yelling
maybe she is asking opinions on wallpaper
she is talking very fast & crying
four men leave my house & one is not wearing black
that one is my daddy the general of the spaghetti war
