Notes About The Poem

Mad Inventions

Mad Inventions.
.
We all have lightbulb eureka moments
But some take them to the extreme
How some things are conceived
Could only come from a crazy imagination
And a weird hapless dream
.
Created with good intentions
To find solutions and make life easier
Mindless inventions
Often leave the creator
With a hole in their pocket
And egg on their face
.
They may have seemed a good idea at the time
But specs for dogs and strange machines
Only boggles the mind
. 
Who are these people?
Who think they are smart
I hate to judge at least they tried
But how sad when things
Fall apart
.
But without such minds where would we be now
Probably living in caves
And throwing spears 
At wild beasts and cows.
.

Brandy Nicole December 26, 2020 at 8:30 PM It's okay to "have a light-bulb eureka moment" I agree with you, some take ideas to the extreme. This made me smile and sigh, all at the same time. Poor baby in the photo. You are so clever and creative. :) Brandy Peter Dome December 27, 2020 at 9:15 AM Hi Brandy. thank you for the kind compliments.Much appreciated. you ought to see some I found.

Glad it made you chuckle.I invented the cold water bottle, the rubber frying pan, so of thrown at someone it don't hurt so much.The uplifting invisible bra, the heated butter knife. want to invest?.haha. Thank you take care.
