Bonkers You Say

Bonkers you say

Why yes indeed i think i am

And i've got a certificate
signed off personally by the 
Dean 

Of Straight Jacket University 
LaLa Land to prove it

Top of my class 
A+ grade student
Mad as a hatter
Failed every test with honours

So who better qualified than i 
to be elected President elect

And preside over a parliament
of tea party fairytale characters 

And to provide me with the allusion
of appearing sane

And invoke an insanity plea defense
