TWO LITTLE DITTIES



1.  21ST CENTURY PROCEDURES

They took me to a facility 
          and started the procedure
with nurses all around me
          and doctors to good measure

They drilled away into my skull
          I felt all over numb
they worked me over n' fixed it so
          my will it would succumb

(Refrain)
Oh dear, they call it the procedure
Oh mama, won't you come and rescue me

They stuck a chip deep in my brain
          the needed information
on how to live a happy life
          with easy confirmation
Now everything is roses
          fair weather in my life
just now and then my wife says:
         ''Honey,.what is wrong?''
So now you know I'm gone.


2.  WITH A HOOT...

Singing a song 
-I'm not wrong 
                In saying-
                             that
I'm just playing
like a child rolling the dice.
it surely ain't a vice.
isn't that nice?...
