Knock, Knock, Who's There? Comical poem 736 by Angela Lansbury.

Knock-knock, knock-knock, knock-knock - 'Who's there?'

It's a stranger, better beware

A single, couple, plain, but odd

I do not wish to change my God


Don't get me started, not today

Although in debates I'm hearty

I don't want to change, with strangers 

My secret vote for my party


I won't tell if I like vegans

Or choose kosher or halal meat

I don't want to buy fruit or fish, 

Or to reveal which food I eat 


I am not keen on trick or treat

Please don't knock on the locked front door

Then run away, it makes your day

Yes, it's fun, 'til you see a gun


In Singapore it is not allowed

To go around knocking on doors

Laws scared me, my first year out there

Thirty years on, I give applause.
