Crazy World

An observation on the crazy world we live in.

Crazy World

Rabbits riot at midnight,

Foxes frolic at dawn,

The whole damn world's gone stark raving mad

Chaos breeds the Devil's own spawn.

Dogs dance with ducks at dusk,

Lions eat with lambs at noon,

The whole damn world's gone stark raving mad,

The apocalypse is coming soon.

Cats cavort with rats in daylight,

Owls kill eagles after dark,

The whole damn world's gone stark raving mad,

And I can't find anywhere to park!

A looney in the White House,

A spoiled rich kid on The Hill,

The whole damn world's gone stark raving mad,

It's being run by the mentally ill!

Hey, Iron! Sometimes I think maybe you are my brother from another mother. We really think alike!! I LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, your work. You think like I do!! Maybe at some point my relatives headed to the boarder. LOL

Another fine job! To quote myself yet once again: I LOVE IT!! The repetition adds even more to the work.

Thanks again, Belle. It was intended to be kind of a humorous pie with a barbed hook buried in the middle! :D

[A. Kim Spradling]

Just why I love it, Iron!!

The man with the booming baritone (you know the guy, he does movie trailers) says: “In a world where cats and dogs are best pals…” So there’s your poem. Lions, lambs, ducks, dogs, eagles and owls all in a snarl. Like “A World gone Mad.” No sweat, all the best people are. Mad, that is.

You're right there! Being a little bit nuts is a modern requirement! :)

You AL ost got same free spirit like at my poems. Gratulattion cause usually normal people don't do that. Your fantasy quiet run in deep and creative speed. I would you say if you wonder how it's looks at my head. I have just one advice read this yours poem.

[The Iron Horseman]

Hi Martin. I had to look up the meaning of dyspraxia because I had never heard of it. You have my deepest sympathies, my friend. It must make life very difficult for you. Try not to let it get you down, and keep on writing.
And thank you for complimenting my writing. The thought that it might have brightened your world a little gives me great pleasure.

Dysparxia is not well known cause it's quiet rare disoder. But impact the it's quiet huge I find ore difficult not to be clumsy or messy. But my thoughts are disorganized a day I cannot follow when somebody speak. Also I develop award behaviour to order somebody to notice me. Like child I experienced lot of bully at school and abuse at home. Lot of people with Dysparxia have to face e with loneliness and lack of friends . Besides this disorder I have discaclculia which is condition where I cannot understand how numbers work so math is for me quiet trouble. I just want to say it's bring frustrations every day in every actions . Again thanks for your deep understanding. AND all the best to you.

[The Iron Horseman]

All the best to you too, my friend.

sad to say, we are all just waiting for anarchy to rise, it has been an insane world and i really don't know who can save us this time. i just keep telling myself keep the faith.

[The Iron Horseman]

I think that is all any of us can do, Sette. We just seem to move from one bout of insanity to the next nowadays!

[sette]
