James Horn Poet Couplet

After a Lobotomy

After A Lobotomy

Instead of being overtly obnoxious
Could continue to remain cautious
Always careful what you say and do
Not ending up in trouble or a stew.

Make sure you are missing a mishap
And then end up falling into a trap
That someone sinister tried to set
All their odd behavior should forget.

Each action serves as a distraction
Simply trying to sway satisfaction
Lose sight of your goals and plans
Must stay on tune dancing own dance.

Once you are completely back on tract
And on others are not turning your back
People will want you to be sympathetic
Such a shame some seem so pathetic.

James Serious Mysterious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet

PS. Anyone can enter any of my poems 
that they want to in a poetry contest.
Set up a poetry computer program that 
automatically will enter one of my best
poems into a contest. That would be 
interesting.

Andrea Dietrich July 17, 2016 at 4:08 PM Jim. I'm on my cell phone. But reading and commenting slowly. Good poem. Enjoy your evening James Horn July 17, 2016 at 4:14 PM AD, Your comments are so dear and mean so much to me. God has put you into a life for a certain reason. It is to motivate me to continue writing poetry. I know that there is always room for improvement. This was supposed to be another quite Sunday morning in Baton Rogue. Bitterness comes with a big price. JTH
