Count my fingers, count them loud.
I’m a madman, dead-hat-bowed.

Bite my nose and say I’m good;
Like the world just wouldn’t-should.

Kick my cheek, then pat it soft;
Think I’m just a little off?

Send me off to paradise;
Bring me back, that wasn’t nice!

Ride with me on donkey a**;
Faster, mutthead, go on, fast!

Dump me in a fishing net
Tangled, hee hee, the sunset!

That’s a lot of things, I say—
My, ’twas such a boring day!

Try to figure out the deep, DEEP meaning to this poem! I worked very hard on the symbolism and metaphors.
