Creative collaboration with my mom . . .

I think I’m going to go insane
I’m really gonna lose it,
I know it’s going to happen
because I’m gonna CHOOSE it!

If I claim that I’m just crazy
and act like I don’t care,
I’ll no longer have to carry
these burdens I now bear.

So if you cannot find me,
have no worries, don’t despair,
just check into the looney bin,
you’ll find me locked in there.

People will come to visit,
the Girl Scouts will stop in,
I’ll gobble up their cookies
with a great big minty grin.

The people from the church
will come by to pray and sing,
I’ll lift my voice and join them
shouting “Glory to the King”!

When they’ve gone I’ll sit & talk
to me, myself and I,
until the lady with the little pills
wheels her cart on by.

I won’t stay there forever,
just until I’m rested.
But what if they suspect?
What if they have me tested?

That might no be so good,
In fact it really would be bad,
they’d never let me go,
they’d know that I was mad!

It really does sound nice,
at least it does to me,
but then again I’m nuts
and I guess I’ll always be!
