Is It Just Me?

I wonder if I'm crazy, It seems as though I am I'm puzzled by so many things Like what makes grape jelly different from grape jam? Or how anyone could have such low self-esteem, To let their dumb commercials run Are we to follow the dinosaurs? And disappear beneath the sun? Or how I could be so brain-dead To find in my refrig, Some food from the time of the reign of Ramses, How could I be so dumb? The very thought, it scares me, Makes my mind go numb. Everything I buy or own, I seem to lose real quick, Is there a brain tumor inside me? Or am I just mentally sick? Too caught up in great thoughts? Or just too gosh darn thick? Sometimes I I find I wander Into a room, and can't remember why Is this for people normal? Or did my brain just fry? I guess there's no good reason, To worry about things like this, Sometimes your brain's on target Sometimes it just can't help but miss.

This is still one of my favorite poems written by you Tom. Though you are in heaven writing your poetry now you left some for us to read here on earth. See you at the gate one day my friend. Love, Carol
