Delirium

"Our son is delirious," said the mother
"Perhaps not," said the father -" recall his brother."

"His thinking is all confused," said she
"His attention span is at best nil
"Speech disoriented as can be
"Hallucinations just come at will."

"Like his brother," said the father very wise.
"The boy's in love and I'll bet she has green eyes"
