Head Banger

Walked into a ruddy stop sign today Damn thing's been there for eons Concentration lately is all shot to hell It's the looney bin for me e'er long They'll lock me up this time for good Probably it's best that they do Before I do some irreparable damage And I wind up royally screwed Thought I had things under control Wear underwear most every day But at times I'm known to wander off Police bring me back when I stray Bumping into things ain't a good sign Quite famous all over the town Forgetting to zip up after having a pee Or even forgetting to zip down So sad an ending to a productive life Babbling to myself as I drool But the friends I talk to inside my head Understand me and think I'm cool! © Jack Ellison 2015

"Forgetting to zip up after having a pee Or even forgetting to zip down" As always, such clever writing. We all have our ups and down days. It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to read your work my friend. Always, Laura
