These are my demands I renounce wholeheartedly In this extreme abjuration That which I repudiate so vehemently Adamantly unrepentant Implacable and intractable I abdicate with inexorable pleasantry In this solemn refutation This most earnest repudiation I shall not negate That which I state irrevocably But I do it so gently That you cannot resent me For this humble request of my company So with time left permitting And while we're still sitting May I please have another cup of tea?
