Bats In the Belfry

have you seen nothing and head the sound did your mind do an illusory prank? have you felt a touch from no one around have you considered yourself just to be an old crank? have you forgotten some memories of your ‘hey days’ watched some westerns and thought you were there? saw the ocean in the distance which you became amazed when you saw the tall ships passing by and heard the fanfare? did the pigeons in the park eat up all of your bread crumbs then followed you home and messed up your lawn when you hear a band do you enjoy the big drums or is that only the national anthem just before dawn? does your doctor tell you that there is nothing wrong but you feel absent minded when your train of thought derailed? would a few doses of Geritol make you lively and strong and show the world you’re a mighty but flighty man unveiled.
