Diagnosis: Tsl

My thoughts are being shredded and tossed
my mind seems missing and lost
or maybe frozen and needs to defrost
or power has been switched to OFF
or like that one forgotten sock
the matching one long lost
it's curiously just---gone

but where ?

I am certainly losing my mind
I feel I'm running out of time
I look back and far behind
to see if it's fallen on the floor
or somehow got stuck under the door
but nope, it's not there, thank God

but where ?

Medical help I sadly sought
to find missing mind and thoughts
no testing is needed, no cost says 
lost mind and thoughts boss
it's rampant right now-- " TSL "
TEMPORARY SIGNAL LOSS
TSL--What the hell !!!
No one in my family ever had it
No, says boss, a new diagnosis
really going around, but not contagious
what should I do, will any pills help
what to eat, do I need more sleep
the prescription is simple and easy
keep your equipment cleaned completely
the excess load causes mind disruption
keep your wires and cords untangled
so thoughts don't get cracked and jangled
just be patient, power will be restored
and temporary disruption in service
will be no more
However, if the symptoms do come back
just check your connections and
clean off the TSL crap !!!!!!

 SERVICE RESTORED AGAIN

           THERE I AM !!!

         POWER BACK ON

A delightful, entertaining write, Jeanie! When I first saw the title, I thought you had been diagnosed with a terrible illness. So glad that wasn't the case. Great formatting, also. Blessings, Kim

Thanx Che !! Jeanie xo I should have written an explanation with this poem. Dish network displays Temporary Service Disruption when there is too much snow on the equipment or other reasons. I thought --well there's the reason for us also. HAHA !!
