TEMPTED TO MADNESS
Running away from insanity.
Going crazy with reality.
The Coronavirus staying around,
unmasked people getting out of hand,
ongoing protests all over
police brutality over and over.
I just want to run
to have my freedom.
Freedom to be care free,
not minding anybody.
Even for a brief moment
of peace and contentment.
All I want to do
to make it through
is to run free and wild
for I’m going out of my mind.
Like a wild flower child
making whoopee in the wild
under the sky full of stars
or in the back seat of a car.
In a pick up short/long bed
or on the bushes shades.
Ah… Bless my soul
trying to stay whole.
In this troubled time
trying to stay calm
by imagining I’m running free
and wild to keep my sanity.
All I want to do
to make it through
is to run free and wild
for I’m going out of my mind.

If you had one wish, what would it be
Mine would be with Jennifer Aniston making whoopee
We'd pause for oxygen
Then be at it again
She'd cry bloody murder as I nibbled her tootsies
Wind of A Painful Reminder
Painful reminder
Last night making whoopee out
Came out a butt-sneeze

Note: A butt-sneeze is a slang used to instead of the word fart.
Us Canadians use way too many slang words.
What does it mean “making whoopee” my sweet
Is it some kind of fancy new dessert, a new treat
Really like to try some
Sounds like fun
Can we give it a shot, if I promise to be discreet

You might say that Uncle Sam is equally greedy
High taxes for middle class,the rich,the needy
Doesn't matter partisan lines,there's no reprieve
Situation will get worse,I do believe
Taxes on our basic needs,forget the fluff!
As a U.S. citizen I've had enough
Still,it seems complaining doesn't do much good
He would tax us making whoopee if he could!
