Original Submission by Neil Kevin Wilkinson

CRAZY

Why are people so sad and lazy?

I’m happy while the world’s going crazy.

Most people I know are nuts,

Most people just hate my guts.

My pink room is my heaven,

Staff take care of me 24-7,

Pink padded walls, everything is pink,

I just sit and laugh and think.

Because I’m so happy in my head,

Presidents, kings all want me dead,

I have enemies, almost everywhere,

But let them come, if they dare.

My guards protect me, night and day,

You’ll never kill me, I always say.

Let my enemies come and try,

I’m invincible, I’ll never die!

While the whole world is going mad,

I sit in my room, happy not sad,

Laughing, laughing and trying to see,

Why everyone is crazy, everyone except me!
