Notes About The Poem

Most Disliked Body Part Contest

My Bratty Brain

I rose from deep sleep much too fast one night
and, oh, boy howdy, did it cause a plight!
My brain was rearranged to shape much strife
by becoming my bratty pal for life.
If you live with low blood pressure, hear, please,
my advice: perform a tight bladder squeeze,
place feet on floor and pause before standing.
This prevents a ceramic tile landing,
many questions concerning your hurt brain
and sharing, 'my bladder needed drained.'

Haha, I have low BP, so it's great to know how to avoid that ceramic tile landing.

Unfortunately, it really is how I cracked my skull. Told Andrea I wouldn't/couldn't write 'serious' about my disliked body part. Thanks, David (wondering if you're a speed reader (Soup Mail) or it's just coincidence that you commented)
