By Julian Matthews
People sometimes say I am 1 of a kind
They are 2 kind
I am actually the 3-in-one kind: easy-mix
But sometimes I am moody, can’t get along,
you’ve been 4warned
Sometimes, I am a 5-fingered fist in your face
Sometimes, I am at 6s and 7s, such a disgrace
If I’m cranky it’s coz I haven’t 8 breakfast
And what comes out of my mouth might be asi9
But you, you are a 10
You’ll always be a 10
You’ll always be my 10
And I wish I could be little more than
a zero to you
