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” *Written January 17, 2012 by Susan’s “Jars” contest

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!!

This reminds me of Steve Martin's movie "The Man With Two Brains". As usual, a great work.
