Spooky Eh

I can't stop them, the words just keep flying out As if someone else is controlling my fingers And I just feverishly write them down and obey their commands Spooky eh! Am I destined for the funny farm or does this happen to others Please say yes! I don't want to go to the funny farm and sit in a chair all day wearing a bib! I'm too young! I still have three of my five senses, but one or two of those are in jeopardy I keep telling myself... Therein, might lies the problem, talking to myself when others can hear Get funny looks! Having a mind that just won't quit has it's down side But all things considered I certainly wouldn't want to have it any other way! © Jack Ellison 2014

you're fine... The rioters belong on the funny farm. Not us... You're just having a little fun... and entertaining us. I ask Dragon and Grandpa Troll and they agreed... LOL

My friend, we all are servants to the Muse of poetry jotting down whatever Erato (Muse of poetry) dictates! So you are not the only one there. Probably you have lost couple of your senses but you have gained wisdom therefore no problem there. Finally, talking to yourself is a good thing for who is as wise as you to have a conversation with? NO ONE! Therefore, talking to yourself is the thing to do , my dear friend, Jack! Ha-ha!

There is no one else that good as yourself to have an argument with! So, do not worry my friend!

Wow! Thanks for putting a positive spin of this my dear Demetrios! What I'm really worried about is when I talk to myself, I have serious arguments with myself! LOL
