You Gotta Be Kidding
hold on now
tryin' to pull my leg?
try beatin' me with a pillow
until I have to beg
no way you really mean it!
it's a joke,
it is, right?
such things could
never happen
to one just overnight
I went to bed at peace
well, relatively so, I mean
I awoke to find that somehow
the world had crapped on me
I wish I knew who to ask
why this was meant to be?
did I dream taboo dreams,
have visions
that affronted other souls?
if must be a mistake if so
I'd fear to put in my essence
something so likely to make holes
is it a mirage, a fantasy
a vapor, that's really not too real?
or is my concern unwarranted
it's not such a big darn deal?
