Your very own cast of thousands
Only you can see them all
Under-staffed let's see a show of hands
Some are big and some are small

How many of them would be you
One is never enough
Laugh when the going gets too tough
Don't you know they're after you

Grab ahold of something
Everythings within your reach
Take the time to write some rhymes
Hold on 'cause life's a beach

Everyone's got problems
Let's not dwell on that
Pass the pickled peppers please
(have you seen my paper hat?)

Into the next Millenium
Carrying quite a load
Over many mistakes made
Memories mark my road

Everything that has been dreamed
Incomplete but still in sight
Never far from field of view
Perspective sheds some light

In dealing with life's curve-balls
Everyone has a plan
Could it be what works for me
Eventually...
Some will understand ?

You're getting very sleepy
Open your eyes on the count of three
Unless you'd rather be a nut
Stuck here for eternity

They all think you're wack-o
And it could be that they're right
Your increasingly strange behavior
Only proves that they just might

Understand you fit the profile
Talking to your-self this way
One of you is crazy
Four of you O.K.

Three are weaving baskets
Help is coming soon
In you head you're in the Institute
Staffed by lunatics and Toons

Hewwo evwybody
Evwywon is wooking good
Ratchit wasn't watching
Else I'd stay out in the woods

'Sure are wots of wackos here
Evwy time I turn awound
Last one in's a wotten egg
Mr. Fudd is back in town

Evwybody wisten, while I tell my pwan
Ratchet's in the wadie's woom , washing out bed-pans
Anywon who's with me
Nod your widdle heads

Doc is going down this time
He's been woofing wots of meds
Evwything is weady
'Supwise him when he's dweaming

Pay him back for thwowing me out
It's him who should be weaving
Stoopid cwumsy big dumb moose
Stole my pwace on his computer


Evwyone who is with me
Dwag him out , that instituter !

This went down a little too quickly let’s put it back to the front so that those who initially missed it can read it again.

Well written poems BTW

But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet.

Perhaps I'm not the only one that's getting sleepy , as no-one yet has mentioned the acrostic train of four here ?

My dear Dr. Moose,
Now why is your alter ego
angry this time,
did you forget
to change his pillow case again?

My dear Nurse Cratchit,
It seems I may have been re-miss
Though no-one's butt in here I'll kiss
Get a lawyer as some have said
You cannot sue what's in my head

Sally S. ,
You must agree
All is not
What you may see
And here we are
So far from home
Trizzle trazzle trozzle trome
