Pushing the Pram

 Pushing the Pram 

They have been pushing the pram
of madness
Up and down roads
and all around town
They have cradled insanity 
Like selfishness embraces fools
And the chimes of the mobile
reflects strangely painted asylum walls

They have been pushing the pram
of madness
Up and down hills
and all around town
In and around buildings of the past
The thrills of sanity
which did not last
And when sorry knocks on the door
As if it is begging to be let in
You know you will be placing
something in their tin
