My Tin Foil Hat
They tell me, "Take that tin foil hat off you
No waves are telling you what to do
No black helicopters are up in the sky
Satellites are not watching you like a spy
The television is not talking directly to you
The box on top does not watch what you do
No shadow people are coming for you tonight
No aliens are going to take you on a planetary flight"
They are probably right, but they may be wrong
I think I better keep my tin foil hat on

Keep looking...
at the sky but keep your tin foil hat on! You never know! I found this little piece to be amusing and who knows? maybe insightful.~ Geezer.

My Tin Foil Hat
I cannot help but think of one of my favorite movies, "Signs." (I could go on and on about that awesome flick, but...) Your poem reminds me of the scene with Merrill, Bo, and Morgan on the couch wearing their tin foil hats. I also get a sense of Big Brother from this, too. A deep subject presented with a lighthearted warning.
Thank you!
