Mad - Squiddy Geiger - March 04, 2012

Did it drive you mad
When the movie was bad
When the ending was sad
And your dad wore plaid?

Did it make you mad
When your teacher had
You stay behind, your blad
Der bursting, what a cad!

Mad as the world is
With strange and frightening
Things, making you yearn
for the simple days of yore

Until you realize they were neither
Simpler nor better, only different
Very complex and frightening things
Happened then; not to mention all the death.

Mad at the world, you strike out
At everyone, realizing only too late
That the one you really hurt
Is yourself, friendless and alone.
