A Compos-ition

I sit alone and watch windblown
coconut trees growing,
Or turn my head and watch instead
the lazy river flowing.
I search the sky and wonder why
the sun is still a-shining,
I look for gnomes in weighty tomes
and find leprachauns pining.
For the cobblers day has gone away
and they have naught to do,
And Jacks-in-the-greens are creating scenes
And elves are singing the blues
I ask the pixies if they could fix these
problems, but they say,
That all in all they are having a ball
so come back some other day.
"For elves sing well, though truth to tell,
we prefer rock 'n' roll,
But elves wont do it, fairies prefer a duet
and goblins are into soul
The problem is bad but will be solved by the ad
hoc committee of crows
That we've got together, so go home dear brother,
We'll solve this before it grows."
But a committee of crows! O tempora, O mores!
What is the world coming to?
Owls I surmise, are supposed to be wise
but crows are something new!
So I went to a doctor and told him I sought a
Solution, and he sent his
Nurse for a pill and said "You're not ill,
You're simply non compos mentis."
