dedicated to the dog who tried to eat me today

Forgive the grammatical mistakes, as there are plenty:

Aici cainii sunt nebuni

Toate zile, marti pana luni
Fug dupa copii
Masinii, bunicii
Nu conteaza deloc ce le spuni

Le place gustul de oameni
Spun eu, ''pa pa, prieteni!"
Nu m-au mancat azi
Dar daca tu cazi
Aminteste: nu scapa nimeni

"Dar ce frumosii sunt cainii!"
Stiu! Asa sunt si ursii
Dar le va fi foame
Vor carne, nu poame
Pai acum le cunosc suspectii...

Which means something like:

The dogs here are crazy
Every day, Tuesday through Monday
They run after kids,
Cars, the grandparents!
It doesn't matter at all what you say to them

They like the taste of men
I say: "Bye, friends!"
They didn't eat me today
But if you fall
Remember: no one escapes!

"But dogs are so cute!"
I know! Bears are too!
But they'll be hungry
They want meat, not berries
Well at least I'll know the suspects...

ode to sundrop

there once was a wondrous thing
a drink choice fit for the kings
carbonation and love
sent down from above
about which you can't help but sing

from sweet caroline with caffeine
that bottle of yellow and green
your heart rate is up
'cause inside this cup's
the greatest drink you've ever seen

it's citrus mixed in with desire
your blood sugar keeps rising higher
'you're delicious to drink
can't hardly think'
rise up the words of the choir

'ode to sundrop!' is what they declare
with ardor, this frenzied affair
'love of mine, shan't we part
you're etched in my heart
and i swear you'll always be there.'
