The Tightrope of Sanity
Joe Bloggs used to spend
Much of his hard-earned brass
On beer and clothes and to send
Love letters to his lass.
All went well until one day
That dramatically changed his life -
The ship at last had left its bay,
Cutting through water like a knife.
Almost unnoticed his switch was flicked.
Unnoticed, that is, to him.
He was there and the clocks still ticked
But the bright light was somehow dim.
