Useless
At school I made a teapot
And I took it home to mum.
‘Do you want tea?’ I asked her,
Then I went to make her some.
I poured the water in the pot,
As proud as proud can be.
But the pot was made of chocolate
And the water burnt her knee
And I took it home to mum.
‘Do you want tea?’ I asked her,
Then I went to make her some.
I poured the water in the pot,
As proud as proud can be.
But the pot was made of chocolate
And the water burnt her knee
