If I give up the seat I've been saving

To some elderly lady or man

Am I being a good boy

Am I your pride and joy

Mother please if you please say I am

If while in the course of my beauty

I perform an unfortunate take

Would you punish me so unbelievably

So never again will I make that mistake

This feeling inside me could never deny me

The right to be wrong if I choose

And the pleasure I get when say

Winning a bet is to lose

When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy

Eating more than enough apple pies

Will I glance at my screen to see

Real human beings starve to death

Right in front of my eyes

Nothing old nothing new nothing ventured

Nothing gained nothing still-born or lost

Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth

Nothing older than time nothing sweeter than wine

Nothing physically recklessly hopelessly blind

Nothing I couldn't say

Nothing why 'cos today

Nothing rhymed
