Analysis of Myself
I was talking to myself,
You know how.
I wanted to see a movie,
Myself said, "Not now."
I decided to relax,
But myself began to talk.
I said, "Let's watch TV."
Myself said, "Let's take a walk."
Who is this guy,
That won't leave me alone?
Is it really myself,
Or is it my clone?
It can't be myself,
Cause I'm a nicer guy.
I have to go now,
So I say goodbye.
Excuse the writing and crayons,
Cause my doctor has said,
I can't have pointed objects,
And I'm strapped to this bed.
