Totally Insane

Have you ever personally wondered If you're playing with a totally full deck? It may be that you just think you're normal And you really don't even suspect You're certain it's got to be everyone else That's just a little bit off centre It can't be you, you're totally sane In your mind that thought never entered Well, here's a news flash, me buckeroo! A wake up call I'm sending to you Those images swirling around in your brain They're not real, there's something askew! Believe me, I used to be totally insane Then got zapped between the eyes By a bolt of lightning that cleared my sinuses As well as all the sewers nearby! You may not be operating on all eight cylinders See a shrink before it's too late He surely can prescribe some strong medication So you won't go around half baked! Have you ever personally wondered If you're playing with a totally full deck? Here's a wake up call, me buckeroo Seems your train might have been in a wreck! © Jack Ellison 2012

We are all a little bit insane. We act a certain way in our own ways. We are not like everyone else. We want things our ways though sometimes it does not seem logical. I can see your point, Jack. Have you heard the saying "do the same thing and expect a different results is insanity". We do that. There, your point :)

I think every single one of us is a little bit off centre! That's what makes us who we are! Have an amazing off centre day! LOL
