Thoughts I Thunk The thoughts I thunk, one morn in bed Jumped all around inside my head Then spilled outside onto the ground They sang and danced then spun around Then some of them ran ‘cross the floor Turned somersaults right out the door I tried to gather up my thoughts But they were tangled up in knots Some went here and some went there My silly thoughts were everywhere I grabbed the first thought I could find And popped it back into my mind I got a thought of yesterday And put it back where it should stay Another thought of long ago Was harder to put back, you know? There were thoughts of Mom and Dad And puppy dogs that I once had Of birthday parties, fun, and games I caught them all and gave them names It took me nearly half a day To catch each thought that went astray But finally I got each one Put back where it had first begun I sure believed I got them all Except I hear one in the hall But its okay, it matters not ‘Cause it is just an errant thought |

Sounds a lot like my thoughts. They sneak out and run about. Some scatter and play the game of hide and seek.Others thump me on the head and say write me down. As always I love to read your writing. Hugs BonBon |
