Unfinished Words * Cheese And Onions

UNFINISHED WORDS
by Neil Innes

Unfinished words like these
Unfinished words like cheese
And onions
Help me to write this marzipan song.

Unfinished words
Flying like birds
High in the sky
Above my deckchair.

I don't like anchovis
On top of strawberries
And cream
Pink litmus paper shirt turning blue.

Kippers and jam
Custard and spam
Are only just
The stuff of dreams.
I can't pretend to be
Someone who pretends to be
Someone else
Or so my pretend friend tells me.

Unfinished words
Flying like birds
Colliding circles
In the sky
Left is right
And right is wrong.
