An Island of Insanity
To survive alone on an isle, I need naught but be senile
No need for normality when you harbor irrationality
The humdrum of island life simply will not suffice
The sunshine, the hours, counting the flowers
A jungle, a dolphin, I’m certainly not at Clarkson!
Mangos and guavas and color changing iguanas
No! Better heat stroke then boredom—or a coconut to the scrotum
But with insanity my days will pass alacrity
My friends will be nocturnal, so no need for a journal
I’ll walk like a hound and write novels on the ground
I’ll dine on cakes of sand, they’re not terribly bland
So farewell rationality, I’ll be exploring originality!
I’ll wish my sanity good day.
