Carolyn Devonshire Poet Rhyme

Jars Filled With Brains

The cryogenic lab held many a jar
And Walt Disney’s brain I could see from afar

Perpetually frozen to see a new age
With some I tried conversation to engage

But the brains had no mouths with which to speak
No ears either to hear me give a shriek

The site before me seemed so very bizarre
I made my living will, requesting “no jar”

Russell Sivey January 17, 2012 at 5:05 PM Ha ha ha, oh Carolyn, you are too funny! I don't think you have to request "no jar" in your living will, he he! Did Walt Disney really do something like this? Strange if you ask me! Nice poem Carolyn, I enjoyed it a lot! Awesome Work!!

Robert Pettit January 17, 2012 at 4:36 PM This reminds me of Steve Martin's movie "The Man With Two Brains". As usual, a great work.
