World in a Nutshell

If I gave you the world in a nutshell Would you throw it to the squirrels Or bend down Hide it in the ground Or would you put it in your pocket And carry it around If I showed you my world through a keyhole Would you try to snatch the key Open the door Start to explore Or would you stay outside and wait Till I open the gate A taste of everything, a meal of nothing. We feed on samples, crumbs and nothing more Words half spoken, thoughts half thought Always hungry, always longing for more If I gave you the world in a candy And let it dangle in front of your mouth If it smelt so sweet Like your favourite treat Would it be fair to tell you not to eat?
