let's only eat nice things
like sweets
like minted chocolates
in the evenings
and wafers from cellophane bags
let's watch tennis on the lawn
dressed in fresh clean clothes
let's wear nice hats and roses
and pour tea from silver pots
let's not think of bad things
of nasty things
of hideous things
let's eat our crumpets in serenity
let's disinfect our baths and flushing
systems
let's boil our waters, daughters and visitor's
quarters
oh let's be good and clean
let's eat our crumpets in serenity
let's go to parties and to concerts let's be
sweet
let's smile nice smiles and clap little
claps
let's take little sips and chew little
mouthfuls
let's make little children gasp little gasps and
show home movies
oh let's be nice
why can't everybody think on nice things
good things
why can't we live in nice places
good places
why can't we be nice like the pictures in the
hall?
oh let's be nice and eat crumpets in
serenity
oh why can't everything around us STAY
nice?
we'll make out cheques for charities
in the drawing room
we'll bake a cake for orphans
twice a year
bandages for the wounded
letters for the lonesome
parcels for pensioners prisoners and
divorcees
let's flood the world with proper kindness
and
keep all things nice
.............for always
and for us to eat crumpets
in serenity
