Once After Four

All done once after four
Blow balloons in fours
Carouse at four
Daytime iniquities done in fours
They are the leaping ‘babies’

Pop up at the tavern after four
Quit the suckling after four
Rise up from the mat after taking four
Sing the refrain beat after line four
Birthday celebrated once in four years

Peruse through the stock in fours
Quietly whine through group four
Touts rising through counter four
Looting eggs from the lecherous lout in four
They are the after four people who wink in fours
