Crazy World

I woke up tomorrow And sat on my head So I ate supper Before I got out of bed Stranger things happen In this crazy world I went through the bedroom door And was outside in the spring It was snowing when I went to sleep So now I’m listening to the moon sing Stranger things happen In this crazy world The sky was brown And pink and purple striped Shaped like a frown And leaking through the roof Stranger things happen In this crazy world I’m drowning in air While frying the constellations With a magnifying pear And some red bloomers Stranger things happen In this crazy world I’ll try to fix the mistake By finding where I went wrong Maybe it was the beet and chocolate cake Or the stranger I met on Mars! Stranger things happen In this crazy world I’m pacing on the ceiling Dodging the lava lamps Later I’ll visit the dungeon On the escalator ramps Stranger things happen In this crazy world I’ll wear my best hat on my feet Maybe some mascara on my nails And a blouse on my head And a scarf of decorative entrails! Stranger things happen In this crazy world I’ll have to climb up six million stairs Just to get lower than this room And avoid the rampaging parfait fairs ‘Cause they get in the way Stranger things happen In this crazy world I might dye a kitten Like you do Easter eggs My prisoners would be smitten with a multicolored feline Stranger things happen In this crazy world I have plenty of mess to sort out And about seventy aliens following me And someone keeps offering a padded room Which I kinda want to see Stranger things happen In this crazy world They say I’m crazy and insane But I say it’s just this messed up world So now I’m locked up and in pain For seeing stranger things happen (Like I said they would) ©Copyright 2015.
