 Ride That Insane Carousel

 

for Maria Stevie and Teddy from their crazy father

 

Transcendental if you will

I would rather thrill than kill

Giving in or giving out

But not giving up to doubt

 

Drink no more and never smoke

Live on apples and brown rice

English tea and being nice

Saving all my strength up for

Writing books one two three four

 

Brokenhearted and flat broke

 

In the existential joke

Which this life would seem to be

Staving off insanity

In oral and written test

Anal and unwritten jest

 

Absurdity suits me best

 

Ride that insane carousel

Up and out the mouth of hell

Isis and Osiris know

Things get pretty grim below

Dark and deep mysterious

 

Must we be so serious?

 

Rather fast than rather slow

Laughing last before we go
