Celsus- a Guide To Humors For the Treatment of Melancholia

Rubbing my newly bald head
Shaved it off the other day
As the doctors suggested
Who am I to disobey
Sometimes the treatments helped
But not today
Got home from driving
I still felt a little sad
So I got to flogging
And that was that
Now that I'm sore
I'll just relax
When I start laughing
I hear cymbals crash
But when I'm crying
I'd rather laugh
When the joke needs someone to be the butt,
I'm the ass
Life is a comedy
As far as I can tell
When it gets funny
Give me a yell
Okay, okay
I know I give you hell
