------Sunday Driver------

While taking a walk one sunny morning
inside the funny farm fence
I was walking along and whistling a song
just like I had real good sense
I remember exactly what day of the week  
I was wearing my Sunday hat
When a red car slowed down and rolled to a stop
I saw that it had a flat
The driver opened the trunk , took out the spare 
and began to change it at once
tossing  nuts in the hubcap close to the road
This guy was surely a dunce

A car speeding by  made that old hubcap fly
each nut was lost, God knows where
The driver was mad ,then spoke very sad
"I was late, now I'll never get there"
"Don't give up hope",  I told that old dope
"just take one nut  from each wheel
You'll be on your way without a delay"
I heard him say "Such a deal"
He said "You're an ace, you don't belong in that place
and it doesn't appear that you're lazy"
I said that you're right, there's times when I'm bright
But I'm not stupid I'm just kinda CRAZY!!!
