Teas for Two

I. (Irving Caesar)

Picture me upon your knee

Just tea for two

And two for tea

Just me for you

And you for me alone

II.

Picture me for tea for two

And two for two

And you for tea

Just me upon your knee

Just me alone

III.

Picture me for two for tea for two

And you

And your knee

Just tea for your knee

Just me for your knee

Just me alone

IV.

Picture me for two

And you

And two for me alone

V.

Picture me upon you

And your knee

Just me upon your knee

Just tea

Just tea

Just tea

Just tea for tea for you for me upon you

And your knee

Just tea

Just me for tea

Just me upon you for me for me for two

And you

And your knee

Just me for tea for me alone

VI.

Picture me alone

Epilog

The first stanza there, as noted, comes from Irving Caesar's "Tea for Two" lyrics, albeit from the later, solo female rendering rather than the original No, No, Nanette duet. The other stanzas are similarly accepted by the epilog, and were culled from several dozen random walks through the graph, powered by a slapdash Ruby script and the fierce urgency of "I should be doing something else right now".
