I don’t feel inclined
to get too specific
with the various articles
but the general semantics
were thoroughly labelled
before distribution
mine read PSYCHIATRIC
but you don’t get to choose
your own labels
three dope chimps
were questioned at length
but they saw nothing
they heard nothing
and they said nothing
silence is the friend
who never squeals
you never tell a sucker
what is on your mind
I never cut cute
with established procedure
I always play by the numbers
chances are I’m right
you get more hee haw
in the long haul
if you’re deaf
and dumb
and blind
