Behind Closed Doors

Listen to poem:

Behind closed doors
It’s plain to see
We have our quirks
The way we carry on
Acting half our age
We’re mostly looney tunes
Yet no one would ever guess
We love to clown around
Laugh and snort out loud
We like to be ridiculous
We’re often very frivolous
Silly loopy and giddy
For sure they’d lock us up
If they ever caught up with us
