Julian Baratt


One half of a whole

A moon for a soul

I can't write much more

I’m afraid I would be a bore

I wish I could be Dr. Suess

But without having to complete my degree

But really Julian’s half of The Mighty Boosh

Oh but it actually turns out, Suess is as much of a doctor as me

 

The second stanza is harder

It shows no feelings at all

Like someone who was abandoned as a little kid

Or just isn’t very tall

I prefer rhyming more

For me it just fits

But for people who prefer more fancy writing, it’s not one of the biggest hits

 

But back to Barratt,

His wide shoulders and brain astound me

Also his wide shoulders and brain confound me

I wish more people could be weird, or odd, or cool

Those words share a similar meaning

To me and many a fool

When I see him in the cold light of day

He looks even stranger, but I still like him anyway

Explore what you like, wonder why you don’t what you don’t

I’m just being a simple pessimist here, but I am betting you really won’t
