Basket Case
My dad used to say,
“If I do not get 8 hours sleep tonight, I am going to be a basket-case tomorrow.”
I am certain he knew what that meant. But as a Professor’s son, I
felt obligated to remind him that the term was originally coined
after World War 1 to describe quadriplegics in a derogatory fashion.
All these years later, I am crazy, a basket-case, yet I am bigger
than a bread box, which is another song altogether.

Yeah, there were so many tunes on the radio around 1994
that I wanted to do, ended up reading a lot of Kurt Vonnegut.
