Coping with Madness

Nutter P. McNutter
Was unfortunate to stutter
Couldn't say bread and butter
She was laughing so her cut her
That was a sound
She found
Too late she shouldn't utter
Left her lying in the gutter
Shuffling away a witness said
He thought he heard him mutter

Loopy Lenny Loon
Sang his funny tune
Crooning to the moon
Ambulance came soon
Maybe once I'm "sectioned"
I'll find institution life a boon
Reading Lorna Doone
Telling everybody Peter Sellers was a Goon

When the mind has gone
People carry on
Change their name to Ron
Or Chris or Christ or Jon
Tried to find his son
Hadn't the heart to tell him
That he hadn't one
Although his baggage weighs a ton
Says he's free from modern life
And in that way, he's won.
