The Silly Billy
I tiptoed past the medicine cabinet
So as not to wake the sleeping pills
I looked at worms with a magnifying glass
But could not tell the difference between boys and girls
I looked for the corner in a round room
For about fifteen hours
I peed outside into a stiff wind
And was baptized with a shower
I threw my clock out of the window
To see if time really does fly
I could not balance my checkbook
Though I gave it a really good try
I do not look into the refrigerator
Because the mayonnaise is dressing
How much wood a woodchuck can chuck
I try to keep on guessing
I am the Silly Billy
The composite of simple folk
Laughed at by everybody
As the butt of my childhood jokes
