Called Mental Cases
Called Mental Cases
Just finished and completed my usual early
morning three poems. I have cursed you
with the last one first. It is designed to
prepare you for the other bad news ones
existing and standing in their own right
which, of course, is completely out of sight.
Here goes.
Birds had butted heads up against a fence
After each one found they had become dense
As to who in right mind should run for President
Suppose it was Superman or maybe Clark Kent.
Who would be playing best acting leading role
After people starting to read a political poll
Something strange and peculiar they soon saw
A mighty big crowd each of them did draw.
Like fools would rush in as well as storming
Like all of them were attending a house warming
Were licking chops while we saw their drool
Of thought we were wondering which school.
We began noticing their protruding philosophy
Had to major in either psychiatry or psychology
When for each thought you tried to find basis
No wonder vast majority were called mental cases.
