We sat together one day
Over coffee in a trendy cafe
And pondered a question so easily asked
Hoping for an answer that would last
How to I know that I am sane?
Some may think that the question is quite inane
So should I close my eyes and count to ten
Then see if it matches my watch in the blend
Or is it easier than that when I speak
By seeing if I know the day of the week
Or who is the prime minister of Australia
Hoping at the time that I would not have a failure
Thinking about this is a bit perplexing
And not be on my laurels I am resting
But perhaps the best way of doing it all
Ask am I insane when asking in my call?
