Stick Boy and Match Girl in Love

Stick Boy liked Match Girl,
He liked her a lot.
He liked her cute figure,
He thought she was hot.

But could a flame ever burn
For a match and a stick ?
It did quite literally;
He burned up pretty quick.

Tim Burton in The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories, 1997

Amore tra Stecchino e Cerino.


A Stecchino piaceva Cerino,
le piaceva intensamente,
le piaceva il figurino;
pensava fosse ardente.

Ma sarebbe divampato l’ardore
tra un cerino e uno stecchino?
Sì e non ci vollero delle ore -
subito prese fuoco il poverino.
