Snakes On The Brain

Snakes On The Brain

I'm afraid, my dear, I have snakes within my brain,
Bees in my ears, my dear, and monkeys in my eyes,
Against my better judgment that I should refrain,
But there's a bat, my dear, in the belfry that cries,
There's a blue turnip in the spider web, my dear,
The pigs have landed and Lucifer bought a coat,
Alice¹ is in the garden with Dinah², I fear,
For which, my dear, there seems to be no antidote.
   And yet there's no alarm for which there's no excuse,
   There's no travesty upon which I must report,
   For the sky here is a gorgeous shade of fulvous³,
   And here, my dear, my neighbors are never obtuse,
   The moments are simply filled with snappy retort,
   And ev'rything int'resting isn't frivolous.
