Dunking One's Biscuit
DUNKING ONE'S BISCUIT . . .
Dunking one’s biscuit is more than a flippin’ skilled art
When getting it to one’s mouth without it falling apart
Timing is all-important here it needs to be not too soft
As you lift it from the teacup over to your mouth cross
Get it right and the winning mouth - gets to takes it all
Get it wrong and the losing biscuit - takes a flippin’ fall
Don’t even think of knocking your granny over this one
The lady is an aged old expert - she’ll never be outdone
Grandpa is far more laid back as he only does it for fun
As all the missed soggy biscuits down his hairy chin run
Uncle Sac is getting the hang of it over his learned years
Aunt Lea doesn’t partake as she always ends up in tears
Rex the dog is always quite happy if you make a mistake
He sees all this coming - happy to stand by you and wait
No need for tissues as he is quite happy to lick your face
No hope of keeping one’s dignity as you are losing grace
Oft an afternoon was spent with this skilled art we tried
With the miss tries making us all laugh so till we all cried
Ah yes - dunking one’s biscuit is more than a flippin’ art
It takes a scientific skill or like my dear old granny smart
Who spent many a younger year learning this clever art
So if you are well past caring please don’t give up heart
It is all about the fun of trying and the laughter it brings
And it really makes your day if it’s your biscuit that wins
