A look at myself and my view of life


Its all very confusing

you see I am not sure

its very much like

should you open or close a door?

I always thought I was normal

in a funny sort of way

but in these times we live today

I must be boring

in a very sad decay.

You see I was weaned on The Goons

mimiced Peter Sellars

never grew up without a laugh

now it is so sad.

I look around at this world

find it hard to be glad.

Not that I am moaning,

no thats not my way

just not sure if things are funny anymore,

leave me cold

with nothing to say.

Still I have my locked in memories,

in my head on a CD Rom

and if I reciet some poetry

it will be from Spike Milligan.

Long live the values of yesteryear

yes not all was right I know,

but we knew that if we laughed

it was good clean fun.

John, it is sad indeed to go through the day
and somehow miss the funny part, often when its
intent is not to be funny. -gene.
