It could happen to anyone,
I know, it happened to me...
just me, I'm no one special.
It happens from time to time,
a freak of nature... a black cloud... a curse:
Yes shhhh!
I had a thought!
It wasn't serious really,
just a nagging awareness,
an indefinable something:
but it wouldn't go away.
I tried television: sitcoms, sports, news,
especially the weather channel;
tried junk foods and lots of coffee;
even tried booze and marijuana...
still it persisted.
Finally, in desperation
I sought medical advice.
I found out there is a treatment for my condition,
a laserotomy of the loboteum or something...
What a relief!
I borrowed the money and had the thing
SURGICALLY REMOVED!
Now back to washing dishes and scrubbing floors
and half my pay going to the government;
the rest to insurance companies...
utilities, futilities -
no more anomalies!
Entertain another thought? Never!
Tell me what to think,
I don't want to think about it.

WindWalker,

Don't be too alarmed. Many people have had thoughts, on rare occasions. They tend to go away by themselves in time. The main thing to remember is:

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I just had to return for another 'official' read of this 'penning!'...

Here in the U.S. of 'Amnesia' (land of forgotten promises and 'runaway' dreams)
rational thought/reason seem to be (sadly) ever-vanishing commodities...ergo,
the 'great experiment' in participatory, representative 'democracy' (of Jeffersonian
purity) is devolving into (at best) a corporate 'mediocracy' of conveniently 'dumbed
down' slaves...in 21st. century (electronic 'info. processing' and service industry)
versions of corporate sweatshops; etc.

continuing applause for this 'write!'

This is funny but so true, reminds me of a poem I wrote once called "A Dangerous Thing"
