Sugars by Jon A Cavanaugh

Sugars

I can't remember things I should My thoughts are blurred and that's not good Recovering thoughts locked in my brain Is a strenuous task and all in vain Words dangle just beyond my grasp A friend has coined this "Synapse Lapse" Is it a sign that I'm not sane? Or, toxic sugars on my brain? Some living brain cells still hold on Hang by a thread and almost gone These cells I should not over tax The few I've got I must relax My mind's now in a neutral zone The one cell left is all alone Are there yet memories in my head? Nope! Toxic sugars killed them dead!

Thank you ilene. I've got to blame my memory lapses on something may as well be sugars.

Jon, wondering what the toxic sweets doing to mine... enjoyed...PD

pd do you enjoy sugars as much as I do? I was recently told that a spoon full of sugar can seriously compromise your immune system for 24 hrs. Haven't confirmed it yet. Will that deter me from eating my sweets? I think not. Happy New Year.

Thank you Andrea for your wonderful comment. Oh, yes loved your poem. And the last line "They're both the same. They're both the same." Speaks volumes.

hello Jon, what a great write and a good one for this time of year. Loved the "Synapse Lapse" line, great work. Rollo

Thank you Rollo. A dear friend of mine Nancy coined that phrase and let me use it in my poem.

Lol, oh, that is just too wild!! I love "toxic sugars killed them dead". Your amazing brain is too savage, Jon. Too much :) Love ya, Toquyen

Thank you Toquyen. Perhaps it was my stomach you heard growling for more sugar. I remember a T-Shirt I had once. Printed on it was the message. "Feed me chocolate and nobody gets hurt" It was just for fun. I couldn't hurt a fly.
