My Brain


My brain has its own mind
I've no say at all
I've no control of any kind
Of words or poems I scrawl

I tell it this, I tell it that
It never pays attention
What I propose is bristled at
I'm robbed of all retention

I'm now a poet-poem-less bound
My brain is at wits end
It offers nothing at all profound
Except my poem-less portend

I won't fight it anymore
Its mind is much too strong
Hopefully, the peace of mind I'm searching for
Will appear before too long

great as always with great art from yiu both.

Some time ago , me mind said to me braine,
''I'm going out to lunch , brain''
Not a word since has been herd
Now I'm mindless , going out of me head ,
Posted on the net , notewfide the cops ,
Missing mind check your bins , out houses,
'Tis lonly hear in side my head , a brain
With no mind is a sad and tereabul thing.

I trust that yours and mine have met up Stan , abd haveing a good time :)
