Inside My Brain

I visited my brain today To see what was happening Its been a little sluggish of late Like a cloudy day …..unlike a fresh day in spring! It was dim when l entered So l turned on my lamp It was really quite foggy And felt a little damp The memory section first caught my eye As there were countless empty spots A bundle of wires nearby All tied up in knots The vision section was labelled Though quite hard to see From a distance I think it read: A L X f m g The emotional section was hyper Continual movement up and down With huge highs and deep lows Overstressed and unwound My brain it seemed was in need Of much maintenance and mending Overwhelmed , l swiftly exited my brain Service and repairs left pending!

I said I'd visit tomorrow but changed my mind and glad I did. Love these thoughts about the brain that goes hand in hand with a book I'm reading: "Switch on Your Brain" by Dr. Carolyn Leaf. She's a Christian scientist with plenty of good "Brain Food for Thought." You might wish to check her out. Peace, Terrell

The human brain has thas more neural pathways than there have been seconds since dinosaurs ruled the earth so you may get lost in there Deb..and just go careful in there too as the human brain has the same consistency as warm butter. Scary but true. Enjoyed your poem. Cheers - Gary

O.M.G… don’t go looking in that there brain.., it’s a scary place and it knows you’re looking, so it shows you what it thinks is funny. I did it once and it showed me a haddock called Harry… oh, go on then… take a peek. Like it, Deb. Nicely written. Terry

I hope you are feeling better today and most of the repairs have been done. I was pleased to see your poem today as I had a feeling you may be feeling a little down. Look after yourself, Deb Shirley xx
