OR AM I JUST LOSING MY MIND?
Blogged Feb 3, 2020
H. W. Bryce
I have only two blogs
Yet my POST blog keeps showing up
On my BLOG blog. What is happening
To my mind? Where does it go on
POST day? What was it thinking?
Or was it not thinking? Was it taking
A day off? Was the hour too early?
Or am I simply losing my mind?
Somebody, or something, is messing
With my brain. Appointments come
And appointments go, and still I sit
Here at my keyboard—any thing but
Bored. I am busy as a bee entertaining
Thoughts – speaking to, speaking from
My brain. It has been here the whole
Time. Or am I simply losing control?
Maybe its the overtime? Maybe my
Brain has gone on strike for a better
Deal? Maybe it’s working to rule, maybe
Strike pay is not enough pay. Maybe I
Am not kind enough to my brain. May-
Be I am working it too hard. Fatigue.
Yes, that could be it; it’s just tired.
Or maybe it needs rewired. Or maybe
I’m just losing my mind…
Come back little Sheba, come back…
I miss you little buddy. I am quite use-
Less without you. I need your help to
Get along. We’re a pair, Little Sheba, a
Thing! We’re supposed to be inseparable.
Like Siamese twins, we are, one for each
And each as one. How can you let me down?
Don’t tell me I’m just losing my mind.
It seems you have got lost in the intestines
Of thought. You seem to have lost your way,
Little Sheba. I guess I had better take up
A search. For my POST BLOG needs feeding
And my BLOG BLOG needs seeding and the
Pathways need clearing of underbrush and
Stuff. I need to recover my Brain and its order.
So come back Little Sheba…
OR
Well then, I guess I am just LOSING MY MIND!
