'Don't you see?' said the man

with the wires in his hands.

'Don't you know what we'll discover

when we finish your brain scans?'

No, of course you don't

​

'Not to be too unkind,

but the science of the mind

is better left up to the experts

who can process what they find

in their white lab coats.'

​

'But doc,' I interrupted,

'Will my circuits be corrupted?'

And the doc scrunched his face

as in laughter he erupted

like I told a joke.

​

'My dear friend lie back in bed!

This is all over your head.

If you continue to shout

you will scare our porcine friend

and we can't have that.'

​

So he hooked up the machine

and he aimed the laser beam

and I felt my mind receding

as the pig started to scream

like a grown man.

​

5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

​

Grab your partner, dosey-doe

I will take you toe to toe

Funniest thing that you ever did see

That scientist is chasing me

I will lead him all around

With two feet upon the ground

I'm a man

​

Distant memory

Bacon not fleece

Your true destiny

Perish for meat

​

(J. Corbett)
