Where is thy compassion
I gave a hug to thee
And now I lie in hospital bed
Facing eternity
My oxygen level is dropping
Confusion is setting in
I'm hallucinating about my life
It's a nightmare, no cause to grin
I'm back in my childhood
At boarding school I be
And they've gone and locked the doors
So I'm still there at 43
The doctor is attending
I'm being sedated as I speak
But wait they hear me mumbling
In a voice so faint and weak
Now they've stopped the sedating
For such fascinating thoughts are seldom heard
They've called in a Consultant Shrink
To decipher every word
He's sitting there wide eyed
Writing down as Shrinks are apt to do
Trouble is he's beginning to realize
That this rambling is all to true
But I seem to speak in rhymes
The words are strange and rather loose
Then someone makes the connection
I'm speaking pure Dialect Seuss
Oh I could ramble on about my experience
And my strange point of view
But I need to rest my weary mind
And blame it all on hugging you
