A woman came up to me and said   "I'd like to poison your mind   with strong ideas that appeal to you   though I am not unkind"   she looked at me, I looked at something   written across her scalp   and this is what it faintly said   as I tried to call for help:      "There's only one thing   that I know how to do well   and I've often been told that you only can do   what you know how to do well   and that's be you,   be what you're like,   be like yourself,   and so I'm having a wonderful time   but I'd rather be whistling in the dark.   There's only one thing that I like   and that is whistling in the dark.      A man came up to me and said   "I'd like to change your mind   by hitting it with a rock," he said   "though I am not unkind."   We laughed at his little joke   and then I merrily walked away   and hit my head on the wall of the jail   where the two of us live today.
