i , madness
greetings traveller! pull up a chair
look at this drawing with tender care
if you're wondering what it is I see
i'll tell you... then you can tell me.
a dog i see on a prairie ground
digging a hole to hide a bone way down
grazing on the field not far away
is a big madcow... all black and gray
'hey mr. dog' said the cow out loud
'have you any hay for me this day?'
'be quiet mr. cow and lower your voice
i'm saving a treasure so i can later rejoice
don't tell a soul where i'm hiding this bone
don't even tell me when we're all alone
technology today can clone me, okay?'
what? what's that you say?
you see no confused cow with a taste for hay
no such prairie or the talking hound?
'where in the scribbles can these be found?
i think you're crazy and a little mad
get some help before it gets too bad...'
thanks for the suggestion but i must decline
your advice is a little disturbing to my mind
why that is so i don't quite know...
but the dog and cow both silently agree
that if the picture were real then they wouldn't need me...
chi-an
