SING IT to the tune of Be Kind to Your Web-Footed Friends
BE kind to the mentally ill,
For that kook may be somebody’s mother
Be kind to the weird in the street
They are some of the smartest folks you’ ll meet.
Now, you may think that drugs are a cure Well, they AREN’T
You are kind to your poet friend Lyn
You know she and the Grannies are kin
You’re kind even when she is late
And has put much too much on her plate.
Now, you may think that she’s scatter-brained
Well, she is!
