SONG FOR TEA TIME
We're invited to drink tea
The teapot is of porcelain
but it's not seen.
I don't know why.
The milk is cold
and I'll keep it warm,
I'll put it one of my coats
long till the feet.
I don't know why.
Be careful when you drink,
It could fall
the nose in the cup
and that isn't good.
I don't know why.
Behind a toast
honey hid.
The butter very angry
reprimanded it in english.
I don't know why.
Tomorrow they'll take to jail
a colonel
for poking the marmalade
with a pin.
I don't know why.
It seem that the sugar
was always black
and with a scare it turned white
as you see it.
I don't know why.
A prudish dish
married the day before yesterday,
His wife the coffee maker
He treats her as «usted»
I don't know why.
The poor strainers
are very thirsty
because the water slips away
everytime
I don't know why.
