| Citizen Kane Clapping! |
Long ago on a planet far off,
Maybe it was Neptune,
I forget, forgive my ageing loft!
I saw a man, he was quite a loon,
How do I say that, you ask?
Because he clapped too soon!
No music, no chords,
No rhythm, no cause,
And yet he went on and on,
Clapping and clapping,
'Coz he couldn't stop!
He sat on a stool,
His eyes wide open,
He never could hear,
The clapping of thunder,
As if he heard an unending opera,
Or watched cricket with too many overs!
Day and night he clapped his pink hands,
Never to stop, never understand!
-Like I said he was quite a loon!
-Yes I think he lived on Neptune!
-Oh! You don't believe me, do you now?
'Coz am old and frail, my back hunched low?
-Oh! Go on stupid girl, giggle while you can,
I once went to Neptune and met loony Kane!
Some day when you find him ask him of me,
He will tell you the truth, you wait and see!!
