Sanity

He wore a wooden hat Because he said It kept alien invasion From his head We all laughed And played his game But he was right ‘Cos when they came They got the world Including me But then not quite ‘Cos he was free I thank the lord That he was there With wooden hat He had to spare He quickly placed it On my crown And with deft flick Pushed it down All alien voices Faded away And I could think Clear as the day We live in the woods On berries and honey We have no need of Things like money We are untroubled By things like that Because we wear Our wooden hats We observe that world With some despair And pity our friends Still living there But we are free Amongst the inane As day by day by day They become more insane

If they looked at our news for a few days, aliens would see that we are insane by our ways, no arguing that, I think I too need a wooden hat. Enjoyed your poem Terry. Thanks
