Spooky Eh

I can't stop them, the words just keep flying out As if someone else is controlling my fingers And I just feverishly write them down and obey their commands Spooky eh! Am I destined for the funny farm or does this happen to others Please say yes! I don't want to go to the funny farm and sit in a chair all day wearing a bib! I'm too young! I still have three of my five senses, but one or two of those are suspect I keep telling myself... There, might lie the problem, talking to myself when others can hear Get funny looks! Having a mind that just won't quit has it's down side But all things considered I certainly wouldn't want to have it any other way!

And you should not, Jack. Always be yourself and true to yourself! No funny farm for you. You are your own funny farm!

Babbling can be so annoying at times and such a relief at others! Have a great day my friend!
