Abulia and Akrasia

  • These are my demands
    I renounce wholeheartedly
    In this extreme abjuration
    That which I repudiate so vehemently
    Adamantly unrepentant
    Implacable and intractable
    I abdicate with inexorable pleasantry
    In this solemn refutation
    This most earnest repudiation
    I shall not negate
    That which I state irrevocably
    But I do it so gently
    That you cannot resent me
    For this humble request of my company
    So with time left permitting
    And while we're still sitting
    May I please have another cup of tea? Writer/s: Jack White
