A poem is needed. Shall I write a poem, have I succeeded? First I have to take a walk. Or should I talk? Or is it a swim I should take? Breast stroke I think, my mistake. Have to pat my cat. Oh it turned into a dog, fancy that, So I swam down the street. Or did I hop ? Must write that poem, cannot stop.. Will we rest a while? Should I smile? No I must go, it’s time for me to stay. What will I do yesterday? Is it tomorrow already? Am I backstroking steady? Can’t see behind. So how will I unwind? Do you know me? I know who I used to be. I wasn’t an elephant in the zoo. Thinking forward I know what to do. I have to try to write a cat. No, it isn’t that. Will you help me learn the alphabet. Then I know what we can get. A new cat from the vet. I will ask the vets nurse. To point me in the direction of a verse.

Yes, I agree this is totally discombobulated plus it would work as imagination as well. LOL..I enjoyed reading your post. It reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing it today and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Your poem captivated me with its carefree rhythm, dear SV - a fanciful odyssey into the labyrinth of existence. Like a painting in the mind's untamed landscape, the sound of your laughter reverberates through every line.

Thanks Jay, I think the image was harder to create than the poem. Best wishes from Wen

Quite a fun poem. I used to love swimming but stopped since last illness.

Yes Victor I too love swimming but unfortunately I cant manage it either now. A confused state is quite easy to impersonate, but not funny for those that are trapped that way most of the time. Best wishes from Wen.
