I promise not to take the Mickey as far as I know
After all you maybe a John or Jane Doe
Of course you could be Uncle Sam in the USA
Possibly John Bull living here in the UK
Bob's your uncle if I took the Mickey out of you
Going even Steven would certainly not be true
Peeping Toms would check up on me
Robbing Peter to pay Paul as you can see
All this poetry work makes Jack a dull boy
Never take the Mickey its for you to enjoy
Read it and you will have the life of Riley
I guarantee a tear and perhaps even a smiley
