Brain Farts

Here I sit, the screen is blank Nothing is coming to mind I search and search my tiny brain For a theme of any kind Nothing doing, my brain is numb It's happened to me before When it happens panic takes over I pace up and down the floor Wait a minute something's coming A brain fart is on it's way I know the feeling all too well Cataclysmic, I'd have to say I frantically type as verses flow Don't stop me I'm in the zone It's a weird creative frenzy I'm in My brain is functioning on my own As words begin to fill the screen Can't believe what my eyes do see A poem appears just like bloody magic And it's signed by little old me Now tell me how this happens I beg This brain fart phenomenon Wish I could really get control of it It's appears and then it's gone! © Jack Ellison 2015

Who woulda thunk what, that "farting is such a sweet sorrow", or that I'm into Shakespeare? :-)

Of course, THAT has never happened to me! HAH! Hubby laughing... He says to tell you it happens to me all the time. Hump! Can't keep secrets long around here... They're all blabber mouths... But not me... Uh Uh... Not at all... What? My poems are NOT gossip! Honest! My crew is looking at me like I'm nuts! They say I'm the worlds worst blabber mouth! Gee! Well... maybe a little!... Grandpa Troll just fell off his chair in laughter! Silly Troll!
