( 'don't worry, be happy' )


Suicidal tendencies?
thoughts like these
disrupt communication
alienate you from the
general population
and end up with you
being wheeled into
a private sanitarium
or even worse
a council
crematorium.

I never think like this
and while life's not
always
a bunch of bliss
I'd rather have a punch
on the nose
than suicidal thoughts
like those

and who knows how it
would have turned out

if only you'd hung about
to find out
and now you'll never know.
sanitorium, sanitarium, same things.
