      My Brain

      "Look at this Mess!" they laughed,
      While pointing to my mind.
      "Someone just left it there!
      A brain's been left behind!"

      And on a hill in outer space
      I was drifting far away.
      "I know I saw it somewhere", I say
      "But,where'd it go today?"

      My heart is all accounted for
      And tucked safely into place.
      It's in a continent across the ocean,
      Far away from space.

      My body is right here, searching
      For it's wayward center
      "How do I know where to go", I say
      "if my mind is all asplinter?!"

      But fortunately I hear the calls 
      Of laughter on the ground
      And flutter my way through the air
      Toward the comical sounds.

      Good thing for me my eyes are 
      Attatched Firmly to my head
      Otherwise I'd have never seen
      Where I had been led.

      There lay a brain on the ground
      Someone had not taken.
      I would have wondered if it were mine
      But, my mind had been forsaken.

      Everyone around here has a brain
      So this one must belong to me, and
      Still everyone stood laughing
      At my mentality.

      I scooped the thoughts up in my hand
      With all the brain debris.
      And popped them back into place
      At my own decree.

      I guess I could have walked away
      And left my mind unclaimed
      But at my own craziness, 
      I am not ashamed.
