ONE LUMP OR TWO

-

Listen, did you hear it? That’s the creaking of

my bones, I don’t think it was a

floorboard, But then you never know! I think I’ll try to stand up, But my back is sort

of locked, I’ve been sitting down for

too long. No, please don’t look

so shocked! My knees have

merely stiffened, And my hip’s a trifle sore, But I’m nearly, almost,

standing . . . Look I’ve made it to

the door! I think we’ll have a cuppa, Yes, by all means use

the loo, When I’ve got

our refreshmen­ts I guess I’d better pop

there, too! Here’s your cup of

coffee, dear, It somehow doesn’t look

a lot. Oh, I’m sorry, did you

say tea? Silly me, I quite forgot! I’ll get another, it’s

no trouble, It’s the least that I can do, And I remembered you

take sugar, But I forget, one lump

or two?
