Just So Many Layers

(A Shrek passion poem made possible by Alexander Mok) 

Ogres are like onions, they have layers

Without it, Shrek would not receive our prayers

There is more than you think to him

Like my good buddy in North Korea, named Kim

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

Onions can make you cry

They can make you sigh

But in the end we will all die

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

He strokes the trees

For he set us free

But we tolerate you, you believe

Because in the end, that's reality

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

And Dad, it's not a phase

The lives that he saved

Is worthy of our devotion

He has brought us great emotion

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

You know, somebody once told me

The world was gonna roll me

And they know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed

The burning determination in his eyes

And his bald, shiny head, covered in flies

He would make me feel eased

With the donkey breath that he breaths

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

I aspire to be just like him

Brave and strong, and that attractive forelimb

I live for Shrek

For I am a wreck

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

Shrek, lead me the way

I am here to stay

With you for ever

Please no Shrek 2, however

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

Our kind is different from others though

They call us strange and we "put on a show"

But no matter what they say we will always believe

For we tell truths that they misconceive

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

Let us stand

Hand in hand

Because we live for Shrek

Like what the heck...

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with me

Before we go we have one last CATCH-PHRASE

We will have faith, always

For we are like onions, we have layers

And if you don't look deep enough, you will somehow find it later

Hail Shrek! Shrek is here, Shrek is with us
