Vacation Unit 36 (Code Yellow)

Vacation Unit 36 (Code Yellow)

A Poem by the wretched
"

my past is full of strange times

"

took some time away

to get back to my roots

banged my wrist a little

indulged in some pursuits

until the limo came

flashing reds and blues

took me to that place

i never wanna lose

time for a break,

break down

time for a shake

shake down

call the limo, boys,

the men in white,

she needs a vacation

to set her head on right

hanging in the hallway

watch the patrons pass

thorazine shuffle and smile

feels like home at last

the candy colored

pills popped and grin

now open up for a check

good, you're fitting in

i'll do the thorazine shuffle

get my vacation kicks

therapy and ETC

out here at 36

when you pick me up

you'll be impressed

at just how far

i have progressed

everything will run alright

until a snag starts a decline

call the limo, pack your bags

save a bed, vacation time...
