My Muddled Mind

MY MUDDLED MIND Your tea is getting coffee, And your coffee is getting tea, And what I mean to say come and have your Coffee please, You have a cold, I heard you sneeze! Step out as you walk in And walk in as you step out, And what I mean to say Don’t wander far from where you are, Dangers lurk about! And then I say, What clock is it today, Or is today the clock, So much on our minds, Of anything and many kinds, I wouldn’t like to look Inside my mind, For I may find a 2nd me And just think of How eternally busy Both of us would be, And besides, I might not like what I see! I get quite dizzy, Thinking what I have to do, In fact quite tizzy! I tell my brain slow down, Are you stupid it replies? As it wears a puzzled frown! Even in a lifetime, I would never Get to know, not ever, Of what i'll think of next, and what my brain will text!

Thanks Allen, we have so much going on in or minds, that I'm sure the brain says enough, I want a break - thats is why i wouldn't like to look into mine - it might just shut down on me! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

I sometimes get a muddled mind like that when I have too many things to keep up with, Jenny! It's hard to describe the feelings, but you managed to do that thanks to your enjoyable poem! Warm regards & hugs // paul

Hi Paul, sometime I don't know if I am coming or going because we have our personnel Consultancy which we have had for almost 30 years, but I must admit that I am guilty of poetry soup taking preference of late! Thank you for your brilliant comments Paul, Warm regards, Jenny.

Connie, if we were to dissect and bisect our minds, we would be totally awed at the thoughts running around like ants through its nervous system - what a wonderful gift God gave man. sorry I confused you - I needed company! Poetry hugs, Jennifer

Hey my dear friend I owe you a soup mail but I just have enough energy left at night to answer comments and make a few - I am totally exhausted - i'm certain you know the feeling, but know you are very special to me my beautiful CayCay, always know that. Hugs, Jenny.

Hi Sunshine Smile, Thank you so much for your comment -our minds and brain are like fruit salads - in this day and age we are so involved in so many things we don't know where to turn to next. Poetry hugs, Jenny

You just reminded me of Dr . Seuss's books.. great imagery and imagination.. Enjoyed reading ...

Thank-you Eve, a lovely compliment coming from such a talented poet. Perhaps you would enjoy reading my poem mimicking fame, which is in true Dr. Seuss style posted last week. Poetry hugs, Jennifer

G'day Jennifer … I reckon I've known a few with an addled mind. I could call your poem confusing but it's not. It comes across as anxiety, and in this world of today, can be common - thank you Jennifer for this ripper - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay fortunately we both take a sleeping tablet, wouldn't ever hear any one break in perhaps best, rather let them leave us alone, thank goodness for insurance. A substantial and relevant comment - thank-you Lindsay. Poetry hugs, Jenny

Hi Nette, not so much forgetting, but trying to multi function (which all women fortunately can do), just sometimes is too much! Thanks for a fun comment Nette. Have you heard from Alexis, worried about her. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Such a great fun piece Jenny, so well put together and the mind is a funny thing. Mind you it gets worse as you get older for I can testify to that! Blessings and hugs, Gordon

Its just that there is too much on our minds or maybe I should say my mind - we have the business and the staff, I have, poetry soup, which I love, we have staff of three rotating at home who have to be organised, and there are social responsibilities as well as personal ones hair,nails yoga etc. . I barely have time to breath and finally go to bed exhausted! Thanks for the comment - I let all take a peek at what a busy brain does - hope i dont wake up one day and say "cuckoo"! poetry hugs, Jenny.

Sometimes we go into overdrive and get our wires crossed, sometimes we just have to slow down a bit. Tom

Hi Jennifer, well the mind is truly muddled and the mind is mine. I love the content and the fun within this write. From the first word I was hooked. Excellent work Jennifer. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Thanks Mike, our minds are a melting pot of so many thoughts trying to gel, all at the same time. It is just that life is so rushed, we don't have time to stop and smell the roses. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Brilliant discourse of two souls..I enjoyed the interplay of words..a loving conversation, Jennifer.

Thank-you Vijay, I enjoy personalizing poems. Writing poetry allows us to indulge and express and bare our souls which we would probably not deign to do within any other forum. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Hi Silent One - thanks for the visit - people are running around doing this and that and everything, one only has to be caught up in high peak traffic times, I actually have written a poem between stop, start, stop, start - crazy busy world we live in! The mind boggles! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
