Parkinson's Spell

Me I’m a wild thing.

Sinister lengthy bleak black hair; hip n quirky quiff

Shakes, rattles and rolls, not records, nor old

I am, I’m me! I’ll shake you’ll see.

I never did as I was told! No loyal sheep from the fold.

I have a song in my soul; just let’s say rock n roll.

From wake till late, I never sit still.

This tremor of mine with its own cruel will.

Wild thing at the till; do hurry now, holding up a queue.

Bradykinesia! Not heard? It’s top of the pops; it’s number one.

Topped the charts with rigid muscles and spider writing

Charge me up, cocktail of drugs; soon you’ll have me moving.

To me, I’m still a wild girl with lots of fun to share

Laugh out loud at my leaping limbs; it’s better than a stare

I will always be; I am still me.
