Okay, no--wait!
Put down those salad tongs!
We will take this seriously,
There's no need for salad tongs.

And why is your hat on your foot?
That is not a shoe.
Try to take this more seriously.
That's the one thing you should do.

No. That is absurd.
What does anyone want with a laugh.
You need to take this seriously,
Stop acting like a sap.

You? Of course you.
Do you see anyone else here?
Dammit, take this seriously!
The world doesn't need more good cheer.

What? Really?
Oh, you think you know that?
Well, I'll take this seriously.
And no, that shoe is not a hat!

Fine, I give up.
Do what you will!
You don't have to take it seriously.
If that is how you feel!
