Analysis of You're Insane



To wit to who
goes there?
Don't you know
it's time for me
to go to bed
and rest my brain!
You're insane
if you think
that I'm going
to drink
with the likes
of you.
Oh you are paying,
well I will
stop praying
I was drunk
as a fiddler's elbow.
A whiskey then
or maybe two
if I am going
to drink
with the likes
of you!
