Increase In Head Size

impossible mission to encapsulate notion 
flitting hither and yon, to and fro
within cranium attached to mine body,
whereby irrefutable proof prevails
predicated when yours truly

in other words, a disappointment prevails
regarding smaller than average head size
housing the ways and means
to transport yours truly 
upon little feet for a grown man.

mine nippy nap noopy noggin (property 
of doodling dandy Yankee) yanked 
with unsubstantiated figurative yen
noah wide dee ya - Hawaii or when,

sometime within a small crick

snubbed button nose
(another undersized, albeit 
anatomical feature of mine)
wore loosely, wobbly atop shoulders 
without doubt mine mean toe
head became larger since taking vow

got any hard data (hmm... maybe
Cambridge Analytica might know
a tidbit or two) pertaining to this
indisputable cognizance, where
expanding cerebral gray matter
iz concerned. only via circumspection
(more so refined since the recent
forced quantum leap into muddled,
molly coddled, middle age),
this distinct heady revelation
vied to be capitalized, gratified,
and limned into some semblance
of tangential cogency.
