Insensible Blandishments
Ask anyone about my woes,
Ask anyone about my glee
They'll counterfeit my dying throes
Pretending to be me
Ask anyone my name,
Ask anyone my fate
Will you face the truth or hide in shame
try something new just open the gate
Ask anyone why I sing
why do you sing asks he
feeling the feathers, the soul takes wing
Pretending to be free
Ask anyone why I am different
Anyone why I am bland
Ask anyone my middle name,
solve the mystry no differance seen
That you might understand.
Ask me if I'm crazy,
I may appear insane
Still and all I'm quite the bard,
With beard of right and rain
Tell me of your habits,
Rosary and beads
That funny little thing you do,
Trace the line of Babbits
And serve tea to the hobbits,
The sempiternal robots
Which plant autumnal seeds
Ask me if I'm dandy,
I will answer crying
Eyelids full of candy
Sure beats worse ways of dying!
