The Mental Man
Nicolas Simpson 1983 (Illinois)
As he watches everyone,
Everyone watches him,
As he creeps around the corner,
His hat doesn't have a strong brim,
He wipes off his sweat,
And pays off his debt,
His look on his face,
Makes him look like he's disgrace,
He makes weird noises all day,
And we couldn't understand what he can say,
As he turns around,
He falls to the ground,
He stares into space,
As his heart rate begins to race,
He starts spacing out,
As everyone begins, to shout,
Checking on himto see if he's alright,
We turn on the light,
And it shines on him......
