Definitely about how fame ruined Paul and John's friendship.
Monkberry Moon Delight = Fame
Which Paul McCartney views as a drink that makes you sick.
I think this is a hidden sadness on the album about the rivalry.
"Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose, and the horrible sound of tomato."
John's attacks and others criticism (throwing tomatoes).
The two youngsters are of course John and Paul, sucking down the addictive substance.
"Catch up cats and kittens, don't get left behind."
Paul misses the innocence he had before being famous.
"I don't get the gist of your letter."
He doesn't understand what John wants from him, or what he is saying about Paul in his songs.
I think the reason these meanings are so veiled is that Paul was too stubborn/embarrassed to back down from the rivalry.
