Changing the Mind's Diaper

"Cut that crap out"
says hemisphere
left to right

sending

cerebrums cavorting
minding thoughts
contrite

siding

best scrape away
that sludge grudge
and blight

seeing

changing the mind's diaper
gives a clogged mind
fresh sight

Muse activated and fired on all cylinders, Maureen. I was going to enter this contest, maybe, but you've garnered all the prize money with this one. (Leave us poor sparrows a dime or two next time, would you?!). I'll 'lay down the law to John'** if he doesn't go for this one. :) gw **Kidding, of course, but only about the 'laying down the law' part // just word-playing there. First comments stand tall and proud
