[CRNDLSM]

I could say this,

Song lyrics are the genitals of the poetic kingdom. Poets find pleasure in them, but usually they just want to play with them, and the idea of looking closely at them is repulsive.
I just find this analogy hilarious 

I could say,

Defining lyrics as sung poetry is like defining a pepperoni pizza as spoiled meat on spoiled milk on spoiled flour and water.
I don't quite get this one though, like lyric is more than a poem intended for music?  Why are they all spoiled, why not processed and cooked together?
