The Edge of Reason Not For Contest

The edge of reason--- When head hots upon a thought and brain tired of swimming in the stream of wisdom that streams to the mind The edge of reason--- when head gives not a solution to the billion thoughts that party in the mind The edge of reason--- when pen fails to splash the ink and the blank book giggles at the pen The edge of reason--- when nose fails to inhale and emit the air and the brain is but cold and the soul is crossed the ocean to another phrase
