INSANIAC

poem by: David Mitchell
Written on Dec 11, 2018

There is a Jiggling laughing mad man, who huffle puffle's in my mind
He likes to scream and shout and throw obscene swear words about.
There is a wiggling anarchistic mad man who ruffles feathers in my mind
There is a tickling, heartfelt mad man, who fluffles truffles in my mind
He likes to pick and tease and he is a big fan of Stilton cheese
There is a curb kicking, pidgeon tricking, mad man who massages sheep in my mind
And when I go about my day all serious and coy, a face that could melt butter, a nod just like a boy.
No one knows my secret about the crazy in my head or the rumbustious women who have slept in my bed
And I just can't let him out because he will end up with a clout for
There is a wiggling, tickling, pidgeon kicking, trouser sniffing, toe nail clipping, bum shuffling......... Mad man in my mind.

I really REALLY like this! It's sort of the dark side of Dr. Seuss.
