Tea With The Mad Hatters

If I Had the Voice of Janis Joplin


Lee Harvey Oswald was just a boy,
who never knew a gun,
and
small pox was a ploy
made up by the government.

I turn off the t.v. and looked him in the eye.

"And this all, the taxi driver from New Orleans told you?"

But he stopped a while and listened to me sing,
to regain what society had taken away from him.
