Maybe there is
No great genius without madness
But also there is
No great meanness without badness
And surely there is
No great Venus without gladness
And there is
No great Jesus without sadness

You can't have pleasure without pain,
Where there's muck there's money they say,
You can't have rainbows without rain,
And night's just the dark side of day.
There's no great genius without madness,
you must break an egg to make cake,
You don't know you're happy without sadness,
And fondling a cow makes a shake.

Sorry, I should have noticed there is a competition going on!
Please remove the post :)
A genius sees differently
And doesn't mind to say so.
And that's when all the trouble starts.
He runs his mouth. She shoots hers, too.
The neighbors don't know what to do,
"They're mad! They're not like me or you,
At least, I wouldn't say so."
Prendrelemick's last line was crazy-mad enough to make me laugh. I mean, really, who was the first great genius who was mad enough to look at a cow and say "I think I'll drink whatever comes out of these things when I squeeze 'em?" (spoken by Bill Waterson). Pendragon, clever twists of the quote were great, and YesNo, I thought your title was perfect and follow-through too, and cacian, yours was excellent too. But the winner has to be:
OoooOOooOopReNdreLeMik!oOooOOoooO
Melanit thanks! and prendrelemick your piece is indeed a genius one haha :)
Thanks Melanie and cacian.
The next is an opening line from a childhood favourite of mine, from the great Hilaire Belloc .
Matilda told such Dreadful Lies.
Matilda told such Dreadful Lies
Blue the grass and green the skies
Cats that bark and dogs that purr
Scaly deer and lizards with fur
The Sun in the night, the Moon in the day
Real milk making up the Milky Way
I wonder about facts that she offers as truth
Matilda would rather lie than to tell the real truth

We cannot stop to close our eyes
We'll work until the project's done
The till does hold much Red Bull, guys
Drink up and soon we'll see the sun
Matilda told such Dreadful Lies
that she woke us from our snooze.
She hasn’t said a truthful thing
since working for Fox News.
Matilda told such dreadful lies
We felt they must be true.
The evidence though did not fit.
Her logic: we made fun of it.
What else were we to do?
A Down Under Tale
Weary from his waltz, the swagman sat a spell,
by the trusty billabong his feet knew so well.
Famished from his trek, he put matilda down;
a ruddy tucker bag, sewn from his old bag’s gown.
Reaching in to grab a morsel, something was amiss.
The savory shape he groped for resulted in a hiss.
That venomous wife Matilda told such dreadful lies.
Inside she put an Adder, instead of boiled Billie pies!
