These are not men to haw and to hem -/
You had better not trifle with them !/
It’s all black or white – /
You’re wrong, or you’re right../
They’re the phabled “Phlegmatic Flems” ! ///
In their phabled phlegmatic way/
They’re impossible to betray/
Though if you have the cash/
Stowed away in your stash/
And you’re willing the cost to defray…///
These “phellows”, so proudly “dephiant”/
Have been known to become compliant/
And that old “black or white”/
May swiftly take flight/
Before Fifty Shades of Gray".
