Listen to poem:
You think you have problems, well let me tell me,
To make this story long, it will be best if I end
from the very beginning, so we can forget it all,
Third, I was placed in a circle to make a square,
And the best that I could do came September,
So I sang a song to help me to know my food,
That really helped me to swallow the words,
And me to chew in ones and twos to stay awake,
To count sheep helped me sleep standing up,
In an overcrowded train filled with empty seats,
Dancing off the boat in my double-breasted suit,
I had to swim through amber waves of pine cones,
After I realized my wristwatch was overwater,
I slowly smelled my watch and saw the time and,
I was standing late for work as it was a quarter
past the seventh floor so I gave him two dimes
and nickel, then things started to make cents,
and that's the honest lie, your honor that's how,
she died, so you found your cat--where,
on the roof, yes, dead? yes, and the dog,
he was on the roof too, alive? no dead, in all
this mayhem,--though I'm afraid to ask--where
was your wife, not on your roof?!, No your honor,
I am happy to say. Thank goodness! She's on
my neighbor's roof with my neighbor (Judge) UGH!
