The Diagnosis

The doctor frowned and shook his head
"We've seen this all before," he said.
"He sings sometimes instead of talking.
He dances when he should be walking.
He makes strange faces, runs around
and generally acts like a clown.
The diagnosis is quite clear:
We've got a case of the sillies here.
It's quite important not to laugh
if he acts like a duck, or worse, a giraffe.
If he flaps his arms and says he can fly
and makes whooshing noises as he goes by
if he bobs his head with his tongue stuck out
and whispers, or waves his hands about-

don't smile or laugh 'cause if you do
you could get a case of the sillies too."
