Inside these brick walls
I've gone ever so mad
The are pictures around me
of the joy I once had

It started so small
Just a brick here or there
but grew into a dungeon
when I had an affair

But so blinded was I
from the reality of life
that I put in a window
and tossed out my wife

Soon I raised the tower
then dug a deep moat
went & bought me a dragon
that couldn't fly or float

I kept the drawbridge up
to keep minions away
but if you were very wealthy
you were welcome to stay

I rented out rooms
with beds & clawfoot tubs
we had lots of maids
to give you foot rubs

I put in a gangplank
talked of which witches to hang
the celebrations were wild
when the bell towers rang

My headache grew chambers
where I locked myself away
It grew more into a castle
with each passing day

I then hired royalty
and with them came knights
one was doing the princess
in the dark of the night

When he got caught
he thought he went to hell
cause the rats ate his fingers
when he was locked into a cell

Now here in the great room
townsfolk would bring me meat
as I sat upon my gold throne
the peasants washed my feet

There's no doubt I'd gone mad
as I'd rant and rave for hours
dressed only in my underwear
I'd pace the castle towers

I hired on a doctor team
to tell me what was wrong
he did a full exam
then broke out into song

You're aren't the only one
your mind is altered into few
there is inside, and there is an outside
and then there is you

The kingdom was confused
they never had an insane Pope
but I figured I'd never be lonely
but I'd better learn how to cope

We needed a place to call our own
where we would always get to stay
So I created a bigger castle
Where we could forever play

As I built this tomb of insanity
Hoping God would forgive my sins
We prayed he'd understand our quarry
and open the gates to let us in

Now we live in the outskirts of heaven
down the lane and on the edge
we help settle in the new patrons
teach them their final pledge

Dear God In Heaven
I've done the best I can
Please accept me as I am
I promise I'll try to understand

To learn your rules
to abide by your laws
to forgive others trespass
and understand their flaws

As God is all forgiving
and I follow in his shoes
I hold the hand of a friend
who shares the same views

This story can go on forever
It never needs to end
with each line a new beginning
like a poet needs a pen

Lynn, you did it again with this one, I have printed it out to study in depth ( and in order to do it justice I hope) & will come back to add my tuppence (2p) or 4 cents worth...John

This book has many chapters,
But the story will never end.
Because there's always something new,
Just lying around the bend.
