David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Lunacy

I've always wished to be insane,
to cash in my brain,
and plunge me into the sea
of unhinged lunacy. 

I'd roll around the drain,
block out the sun.
and fall from clouds like rain,
before my day was done.
That's my kind of fun.  

I'd forget earthly concerns,
eat a Diet of Worms,
play peek-a-boo with Moses. 
I'd declare war on Cleopatra 
in a War of Roses.

I'd outswim fishes, I sure would - 
and be celebrated in Hollywood.
I'd collect one million stamps
and place them on the head of gramps - 
If I only could; 

but I'm sane and steady,
responsible and ready.
You see, 
that's pretty much the story
of my brain's inventory.
Poor me.
