Kaboom

How many of you have done this? You go into another room To get something really important Suddenly your mind goes KABOOM! In the lightning flash of a instant You haven't a clue why you're there You rack your brain for the answer Just stand there with a vacant stare So back to the room you came from Hoping something will click For sure your mind will recover You start feeling dizzy and sick What if you can never remember? Go to your grave not knowing why You got up to go there for something But your brain feels like it's fried Sometimes it renders man useless Their existence productive no more Dribbling and mumbling “what was it?” This feeling you can't ignore Then as you're ascending to heaven Your life is paraded before you In a flash you scream out, “I've got it!” “I was headed for the loo!” ©Jack Ellison 2012

Back in the sixties, they had a board game called "Kaboom" where persons took turns blowing up a balloon. The person who busted the balloon lost the game. There was also a breakfast cereal called "Kaboom" which was loaded with sugary marshmallow bits. Good poem Jack.
