Why Be Serious

What's the big deal Why do we always have to be serious Or well adjusted and stuff like that That's no freaking fun Why can't we run amok through the streets naked Tossing flowers to bystanders Bizarre as that may seem Life is to be lived to the fullest and enjoyed The kookier the outlook, the better If you delve deep enough You can find humour in almost every situation However, you must be predisposed to it To recognize it In other words, you must be a bit twisted My motto... “Why be serious!” Ain't nothing wrong with being twisted
