Tipping


He married a Tipper, did Al Gore
And he's as happy with her as can be
She's the Vice President's ambassador
Both at home and over the sea

She's an example of how tipping pervades
Our lives, one way or other
At times we find that tipping invades
To the point that it can smother

Basketball has it's tip-offs
There are those that tip the scale
Required tips are oft time rip offs
That tippers should rightly assail

Pasted pictures are called tip-ons
They're used in the Greeting Card biz
Getting tipsy can come from binge-ons
And a fall into drunken abyss

We tip off to sleep when we're weary
We succumb to horse racing tips
"It's a long long way to Tipperary"
A trip a smart traveller skips

So enough of this tip filled orgy
Let's get off this tip filled spree
Don't write a tip filled story
That's a tip...take it from me
