MONEY FOR MADMEN.
(A doctor states that many lunatics are capable of earning their own living.) I entirely agree That it's plain as can be That our loonies could earn quite a lot: For instance, they could Fashion "forms" just as good As the income tax one that Ive got! They could send to Whitehall, A new scheme whereby all The main roads could'be dug up at once, And receive heavy fees, For suggestions like these, Which would keep 'em for munce and for munce! They might think out a dance, Where you slither or prance, Like an overfed ostrich in.pain: They might join the rich ranks Of the dieting cranks, Who prescribe in the papers for gam. And if only they'd learn, There is money to burn In a play one can't touch with the tongs: And there's wealth to be had For the lunatic lad Who can scribble our popular Bongs! "Sir, I am a lady!" "Madam, I will never betray your secret."
