Insanity in my Veins...

Insanity runs rampant in my veins...

Insanity in my Veins…


 


I am not to blame,


For insanity running in my veins,


It runs through the family,


We are all the same,


Family tree is full of it,


As we are just full of so much shit,


Handed down through the family,


Yes, insanity in our family, reigns…


 


Scored lowest on all the tests,


Making me, of the family, the proudest,


I can say with distinction,


That our family insanity has yet to meet extinction,


But the name it may end, without an heir,


To this throne of this families name,


So much lighter than air, yes, just below our hair…


 


No, you don’t have a crazier family, that’s right you can’t,


No one is nuttier than a nut in the family tree,


Than the tree we all belong to, put in the ground, yes, put to plant,


But don’t you all feel blue, or ever get red,


Just cause our family tree has running through its roots, insanity,


For you too can become


The family that may one day be the one,


Who can say, yours is the family with the most insanity,


Coursing through its veins & arteries…

I always knew you were a bit nutty. Okay, okay, okay, a lot nutty, like maybe a shipload-of-bananas-nutty. Is that better? On the other dock, I'm more estranged from sanity than a boat-load of loons. But we're okay because we're still not as looney as JT. A woman of science told me that he belongs in Belview, and she should know, she runs the place.
