Insanity, if it is the use of words that have no meaning, is possibly quite sane in meaning though others do not agree with you. I have heard it said that insanity is defined as doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. As they all tell me: 'the fish is in the cradle of the silver spoon...on the way to the mouth of the baby so cute...it'll be spit up in an hour or two...and the elephant is in my shoe and eating my toes.' Yep, what is this insanity stuff anyway. I asked my good friend, let us call him Harvey. He informed me that though his ears were big, it was the feet that made him an outcast. When people disliked his big feet apparently he put an elephant in his shoe to nibble on his toes. It was very kind of him to lend it to me, don’t you think? Makes my feet much smaller and more appealing, though it stains the white carpet. Oh, and now Harvey is sleeping on the white cushions. He always gets the ceiling. Well, thanks for the call. I hope that next time they let me have the phone so I can really tell you what I want to say. I don’t like knowing that Harvey is listening in. I wish I could trade him in for a Horla.

It's interesting to look at this and try to establish the subconscious links that lead the speaker from one subject to another...

This piece stuck out to me--amusing and meandering. Two essential qualities to whatever wonderful thing this is.
