I woke up and forgot my password. Everything seems back-assword. It must be somewhere, but mislaid, among a paper mountain, I'm afraid. Something's really weird and strange. Has my brain been rearranged? As this odd feeling lingers, I can't even feel my fingers, and while my digits seem fat and numb, they won't even oppose my thumb. My vision's blurry and I feel weak. When I open up my mouth to speak, instead of meaningful words, out flies butterflies and birds. Even when I try to scream like a kettle blowing steam, there is not a single sound - just a silence that's profound. The sun looks more green than yellow, and the ground is made of jello. I'm not sure who I am. Can you tell me my name? I was someone when I went to bed. Maybe, now I'm somebody else instead. Am I gone?  Will I be missed? Or do I not even exist? I wish I knew where I reside - once again, "Password Denied". Consider this an SOS. Please send help to my address.

LOL…and yet, not. My husband’s friend needed help with his passwords when his brain went wonky. Still, my husband joked with him: remember the money you owe me. So now we are richer…JK…we love these friends!
