"Enough of phony friends and all their perfidy / More than enough of difficult relationships / Today like yesterday will live in infamy / I'm celibate I have a cat I'm Mr. Chips"

Invitation to Tea (from Me)

 

Enough of crazy people who are mean to me

And no more drama please I ask you on my knees

Enough of phony friends and all their perfidy

More than enough of difficult relationships

Today like yesterday will live in infamy

I'm celibate I have a cat I'm Mr. Chips

A little peace and quiet would be very nice

A cup of English tea some apples and brown rice

 

I am fifty years old now my children are grown

A gentle man who just wants to write poetry

If you want to make trouble please leave me alone

Perhaps I'm a bore and not what you're looking for

I'm not very sexy and that's just fine with me

But if you can be civilized I think you'll see

There is more than competition and position

To be found and I know because I've been around

 

If you want to compete and pose do it on your own time

If you must live fast and high-flown then please hang up the phone

I'm an old formalist poet just leave me to my rhyme

Having said that feel free to come and visit me for tea
