“My head constantly pounds
With ringing in my ears
And I’m sensitive to sounds
Often I am dizzy
With an aching stomach
Life always keeps me busy
My brain feels like something crushing
As I smile though
The morning of rushing
And my body makes me look like a burke
As without warning
I give a sudden jerk
All these symptoms I have are not new
I often think to myself
If I was a horse they would make me into glue.
And my hope is to be
Just for a moment
Have my body pain free
Until that moment is here
I will try my best
To greet you with good cheer
If I’m not so cheery
Don’t take it to heart
It’s because I’m just weary
I don’t like to upset nice folk like you
So when you ask how I am
I will answer with I’m tickety boo.”
