The doctor's diagnosis is deadly cancer
But the joke is I never needed my bones
Never needed a liver, enzymes, or hormones
So the joke is upon the doctor
I ain't walking and don't need a walker
Laugh laugh when you want to cry
Laugh laugh when you are about to die
“The principle of laughter and the carnival spirit on which the grotesque is based destroys this limited seriousness and all pretense of an extratemporal meaning and unconditional value of necessity. It frees human consciousness, thought, and imagination for new potentialities. For this reason, great changes, even in the field of science, are always preceded by a certain carnival consciousness that prepares the way.” Mikhail Bakhtin
