I Suspected the Neighbor
I ripped off my skull and looked into my head.
Feigned shock that someone had stolen my brains.
No wonder my eyes did not work and I had stopped breathing.
I suspected the neighbor. I have never liked her.
I would have gone over there and demanded them back
But my legs would not work for some weird reason.
I listened to try to figure out if I was breathing.
There was nothing coming from my nose.
Luckily since my brains were gone, I did not know what this meant.
So I sat down and wrote this poem.
