 So many voices

In my head
Do this
       do that!
Put the jigsaw puzzle together in rythmic rhymes
    Oh Tinker toy tailors
   Reading Robert's Rules of Order
    Clemency is a West Indies ideal
  The Governor won't listen
  The boat will sail
The water so blue 
On your way to be hanged
  But the boat sinks and 
You are the only survivor 
   A frigate takes you to Paramaribo
You befriend the indigenous people 
    Who take you inland 
And you're never heard from until 1933
You call your mom
  Mom I'm a hundred and thirty three years old!
But moms got you beat!
