Bonjour M. Melancholy

bonjour monsieur melancholy
please remove your hat
please replace your shadow with a tentative smile
a skip's adequately jolly
you should realize that
even if your happy thoughts have been awhile

you haven't been treated fairly
who in heaven has
they don't matter i just see you frowning
a sick a transparent barely
there and all that jazz
you can't change their minds with all your clowning

i shake you and try to wake you
up but you don't rise
look you don't go nowhere if you follow
i can't try enough to make you
open up your eyes
tap your heart no echo it's not hollow
