If you and your mates are going out for a Chinese, what would you say you were going for?
If you’re tempted by the thought
If you’re tempted by the act
If your silence can’t be bought
If you haven’t any tact
If it is your normal thing
If it is your daily wont
If an impulse is your king
Even when they tell you Don’t
See the images that swell
See the shocking words you think
See how you are drawn to Hell
See behind the nudge and wink
See how words can act as knives
See how words can lead you to it
See how words can toy with lives
Though they tell you Do not do it
If you lip is more than lax
If your urge is almost kinky
If you can’t be arsed with facts
If a Chinese is a Chinky
If there is an oaf at large
If he’s one you’d shut the door on
Say it: Oy there! Oy Farage!
Look at you, you chinless moron!
