Biscuits are biscuits.

This is not the correct answer to What are biscuits?

But, sometimes, is this type of answer the only possible answer? What are the irreducible ideas?

Sometimes a biscuit is just a biscuit.

When life hands you dough in a can, make biscuits!

A biscuit is a righter substrate for a strawberry shortcake than yellow sponge cake is. Halve and pile on.

Biscuits are biscuits
So why can't it be
You and I should live
above a bakery
Biscuits are biscuits
So why can't it be
You and I should live
above a bakery

So we're different flavors
some with sesame seeds
but different biscuits have poppy seeds
It's obvious you ate me
Though you've done nothing wrong
I'm just here to feed you, and that's what I've done

I can't understand
What makes a man
eat a custard flan
Help me understand

biscuits are biscuits

Help me understand
Help me understand

Now you're biting
And you're chewing
And you're swallowing me
I'm relying on your common decency
So reach for your napkin;
I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your lap to your lips

I can't understand
What makes a man
eat a custard flan
Help me understand
