Notes About The Poem

Confessions of a Bobblehead

All things can tempt me~ I'm a scatter brain
Trying to focus causes a degree of pain
Distracted by a yummy treat or herbal tea
The slightest sounds arouse and sidetrack me
It's all too easy to sway my concentration
Toying with convoluted laws of attraction
My attention spins often on a dime
It doesn't take much for me to waste my time
That's why I prefer to ignore the phone
And keep working on building me a clone

Hahahaha! The last line is perfect. Well done. I think we're all scatter brains at times. Clones would be great but they'd all have to have their own computers.

After you finish your clone, I would like one too. I have eighteen dollars and seventeen cents toward it already.
