Madness?

A poet once said, "There's a certain pleasure in being mad
Which only a madman could know."
So as I think about you
It should thus also be true
That madness must be the way to go!

Or have I drifted too far afield
Or should I otherwise yield
To sanity such as I knew it before?

I was once there in the past
Not truly knowing how aghast
And frustrating it was at the time.
So let it be known
To the world thus be shown,  
That I prefer madness to sanity in this rhyme!

So darling, my dear, I must tell you I fear
That I'm as cuckoo as cuckoo can be.
I've looked at myself like a book on a shelf
And read nothing but madness in me!!!
