Do you ever get to listen

Do you ever get to tell

Do you think if you lived

For ever!

You could ever ring ma b.ell?

It may be a cryptic question

With its motive locked in a plea

I still don’t think the answer

Would be the same for you as me?

You may think you have the answer

To the question still not asked

Even if you resembled the one

Bitten by an asp!

Your looks might buy

The Nile delta

But!

Your more than that for me

I pour my drink [and]

So, to let you know if you see

A kind of twitch come wink

It’s just a wee bit o something that

Splashed out of my drink.
