Aunt Doty good to see you again
Arriving on a big jet plane
The madness passed I am now sane
The therapy caused me some pain
Electric shocks they singed my locks
But now my sanity it's restored
I do songs like that when I get bored
It was though fun and really out there
Not worth the price of burning hair
The Doctor said avoid cheap thrills
And just keep taking those wee pills
I said I'm not in need of diaretics
And then collapsed into hysterics
I thought Middens were made for hands
Not rubbish dumps from foreign lands
That they kept your digits snug and warm
Now it seems they just attract a swarm
Of flies that grace most summer days
Far from the Midden crowd a classic book
About two lovers who meet on a rubbish heap
Love knows no bounds, they dance and leap
The Man though much older than the wench
Falls for her charms ignores the stench
As they canoodle on a disused barrel
He loosens some of her apparel
Enough of that lets talk of Carol
I do not wish to turn to stone
But just do your best with the tone
If it does affect me metaphysically
I'll just change my name to Rocky
Choose a nice simple tune
No need to shoot for the moon
My recordings have been out of key
I learn as I progress, it doesn't get to me
So look on this as an exercise
She who dares wins reach for the skies
God loves a Girl who always tries
I try things and sometimes fail
The guy that never tries anything
Fails just by doing nothing
So go forth fair maiden
You have a song to sing
If your not Joni or Joplin
No one will mind because you're trying
You don't stop laughing when you grow old; you grow old when you stop laughing.
