Oven Baked

Hearing the soft ding, I hop off my feet

Making my way over in a heartbeat

However it was not what I was expecting 

When I opened the little door

And what I saw next filled me with horror

Burnt beyond recognition, it lay there still

And my heart began to feel very ill

What had I done, standing there stunned

If only I had paid more attention

Then maybe there could’ve been prevention

If only I had not been so reckless

Then something could have been done

And so my heart goes out

My sorrowful soul

That maybe next time

I won’t burn my pizza rolls
