An insane man decided to jump Not off a building Or into a lake Merely up and down Within his room He stopped after a while And the nurse came to visit him None of the other patients act quite like you, you are only one of many He replied With the only thing He had ever known But sanity is not statistical my dear.. He pushed aside His bed violently Threw himself At the door Broke his only chair and table Against the wall And as the nurse left the room He threw his only book They had given him Out the door behind her SANITY IS NOT STATISTICAL The nurse ignored it And moved on To the next patient As she opened the door A book came flying at her Its pages were in shreds Later that day Books were turned inside out And ripped apart At the spines For all the patients Found the book To be beautifully tragic But the tragedy Out weighed the beauty Just as: Sanity is not statistical Sanity is not statistical

An insane man decided to jump Not off a building Or into a lake Merely up and down Within his room He stopped after a while And the nurse came to visit him None of the other patients act quite like you, you are only one of many He replied With the only thing He had ever known But sanity is not statistical my dear.. He pushed aside His bed violently Threw himself At the door Broke his only chair and table Against the wall And as the nurse left the room He threw his only book They had given him Out the door behind her SANITY IS NOT STATISTICAL The nurse ignored it And moved on To the next patient As she opened the door A book came flying at her Its pages were in shreds Later that day Books were turned inside out And ripped apart At the spines For all the patients Found the book To be beautifully tragic But the tragedy Out weighed the beauty Just as: Sanity is not statistical Sanity is not statistical
