He said I don’t wish to kill you

As much as I wish to wear you like a hat

Hat wear for me is hard to come by these days

I think you’d make a wonderful cap

A night cap for bedtime like Scrooge wore

Cause my head gets cold at night

Cutting the scalp open like an apple

and draping the skin like a curtain

It’s all in the technique he says

But I don’t feel a thing

I hope he leaves my brain in tact

I’d hate for spillage or leakage

Things are getting fuzzy now

and I feel a draft above

Close the window I say

Slowly I’m losing my mind

He said he left my brain in tact

As he sported his new hat

I said hey that looks familiar

What a lovely and wonderful cap
