Platypus Pie
Sandrine, would you like
Some platypus pie?
If I have the feet
Then you take the eye.Oh yes, George, I would
Do cut me a slice.
And pour me a bit
Of tea; that’d be nice.Sandrine, I must say
You’re stunning tonight.
Your earrings, I love.
Your eyes are so bright.Oh George, you’re so kind.
I think the same, too.
You look rather smart
In your dashing suit.Why, thank you, my dear;
It cost quite a bit.
But I would prefer
I were out of it.George, what do you mean?
I’m not sure that I’m
Quite comfortable
With that sort of line.Oh, please don’t upset
Yourself in this way.
I love you, Sandrine.
I want you today.Best be on my way!
Thank you for the pie.
Don’t call me again.
Good day, George, good bye!
