Roaming Through My Brain

by

Jay Truitt

Am I crazy, mad, demented, insane?
What are these thoughts roaming through my brain?
Strange ones, funny ones, evil ones too,
Sometimes I think that my mind is a zoo!
Will anyone get them, will they understand -
The Frog, The Cheese, The Midget, The Band?
They're all inside there, having a party.
Sometimes I'll come, though usually I'm tardy.
Elvis is there, doing the Hoky-Poky.
Pee-Wee Herman is there, singing kareoke.
Everywhere you look there's weird things to see,
Over in the corner - Bette Midler and Danny D.
There are three monkeys hanging from the ceiling,
Somewhere is the Sleeve-Girl, she's quite appealing.
Marc McGwire is there with his baseball bat.
Gary Coleman is there with his cowboy hat.
Eddy Munster is depressed, his face full of gloom,
He's angry at the midget in the clown costume.
Hitler is there, trying to spoil the fun,
They all just laugh and call him "Honey Bun."
At first he gets agitated, but then starts to smile,
When he sees Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile.
He walks up to her, she gives him a glance,
Then he asks her "Can I have this dance?"
When she says "Yes," he feels joy inside,
He's thinking "Someday she's gonna be my bride."
With those two, dancing off to the side,
Through the doors walk in Dr. Jekyll and Hyde!
Off somewhere else there's a fight a-brewin',
Orange runs away, but Banana's pursuin'.
Banana is mad because Orange has the better peal,
He's running around screaming "What's the big idea?!" Whenever I'm bored I join in on the mess,
Sometimes it's fun I must confess.
Sure it's weird, but do you think this is all?!
Did I tell you about the man that is two inches tall?
He's a very smart man, King of the place.
If you disobey him he'll jump and bite you in the face.
His name is Peaches, King Peaches to us.
He orders us to leave the party, we get on his bus.
We all leave the party, even I.
The bus flys off into the sky.
Soaring through the clouds, we all look and stare,
Hiding in the clouds is a girl, a girl with no hair!
We arrive at our destination, it's lookin' like Heaven,
Oh, wait up, it's just Seven-Eleven.
Once inside I but a Cherry Coke,
But then King Peaches tries to pull a practical joke.
He fills my drink full of his hair gel.
To be honest, at first, I really couldn't tell.
After I tasted it, I felt a lot of rage,
So I grabbed King Peaches and locked him in a cage.
He'll be there forever, caged he will stay.
>From now on you can call me King Jay!
Everyone stands up and gives a round of applause,
Except for the duck with the big bear claws.
They all are happy, they all want to play,
"Sorry," I say, "I must call it a day."
I come back to the Real World, leaving the weirdness.
I sit back and think "Man, my mind is a mess!"
It's a strange, strange world deep in my mind,
A world where you never know what your gonna find!
I lay back, close my eyes, listen to the rain,
Trying to forget the thoughts roaming through my brain.
