I sprinkle some tears into my sponge, 

So that he gets a taste of my favourite pastime,  

I sprinkle some tears into my sponge  

                                                                                        Add ¼ Bitter Lemon.  

I add a drizzle of delicacy into 

my diamanté Pyrex dish, so that he  

understands the fragility of my being  

                                                                                         Add ¼ Bitter Lemon.  

I add a dash of Don Perrin to my party piece, 

So that he finally gets to know what that taste 

 on the end of my tongue really is…fizz  

                                                                                          Add ¼ Bitter Lemon.  

I whisk some joy out of my batter 

 so that he knows what it feels like 

 to have a joyless centre- folded in half by an 

unsteadied hand.  

                                                                                        Add ¼ Bitter Lemon.  

I add just a handful of pearls into my panat-Tony 

so that he remembers that one is handling precious 

 goods at all times.  

                                                                                                  Add ¼ Bitter Lemon.  

I garnish everything with a ¼ Bitter Lemon   

so that the taste of a prinny scorned stays on  

the tip of HER tongue forever and ever after  

                                                                                              Best to serve cold.
