SELFISHNESS HAS COME TO TEA

Yabble Yabble, babble babble; selfishness has come to tea

Stayed for dinner, supper, nighttime, breakfast drinkies and a pee

On the floor, where else, you'll clean it

Consuming time's lost in a loo and you're the clean up square,.... yes YOU

Can't canvass doubt or we'll miss out

On life's hand out, a troughless snout in this Great Zoo.


Yabble Yabble, babble babble; Speakers voice above the din

Childish prank and temper tantrum, boys club drinkies for those who win

All white balls in the short selection, predilection of the few

Sample question of intention, mention conscience, sanction whip

Can't canvass doubt or we'll miss out

On life's handout; don't rock the ship ...... you say a toe to lick?


Yabble Yabble, babble babble, feel the thickness not the fit

Interest rate and health statistic, city rate and bomb ballistic

Never mind the job, you missed it, contribution .... Chairman Fund

Or was it buyout, sell out, cop out?

Never mind your health's the thing, and here's the latest .......

Royal story or was it Religion punned?

Diana's sin or Yorkies win or Bishop's trial or a Major's

file or run a mile or life in style or clause 4 or was it open the door? For .....

Selfishness has come to tea.
