Lessons On Head Containment

Lessons on Head Containment People lose their heads It’s what they do And should it happen to you Someone could use it for bowling Let us pray for containment Generally and specifically speaking It is advised Don’t be born At the time of the guillotine Or be of any political persuasion From that Or any other era or period in time Though guillotine is The great weight loss program (“2 pounds off the top please!”) Keep your head with you at all times When going for a walk Place your left hand firmly Over the left side of the head Place right hand on right of head And do not prance Do not look at the sun It’s already compromised Decapitated Removed from other celestial bodies If someone chases you with an ax Run…. (Aspirins won’t help) Bring a bread sized basket with you If something should happen Avoid the cost or loss of head containment Soak it in cool water Hide your head under covers From headless horsemen Or is it horseless headmen? Beware of pigmies with their stitches Try not to dangle in the wind by rope It makes you look silly & dopy or worse ….. Dead…. If all else fails Go gambling but Don’t lose your head
