So we've tackled leaky teapots And yes, my sofa too The best one from the Ministry I've saved 'til last for you The Ministry are everywhere And for this, forever smug For they've been sticking Polo® mints On to half assed mugs Oh yes, the tiny teacup That comes with the teapot A thimbleful at very best One gulp - that's yer lot That poxy polo handle A crap design so grand Try drinking tea from out of me You're gonna burn your hand And the sullen staff that serve you Will only moan and wail They're not from the Ministry But that's another tale So when you've finished faffing With the teapot and its dregs And you've mopped up all the tea That has dripped upon your legs You'll come to the conclusion That the Ministry has won And you'd be better off To have tea at home my son/hun (delete as applicable)
We should've seen them coming But we never saw a sign Cloaked in red tape, there's no escape From the Ministry of Crap Design
