Fair to middlin' of nowhere

The adrenaline is pumping.
My heart is thumping.
My head is in a spin.
I don’t know where to begin.
So much to think about,
I want to shout
slow down!
But I want my crown,
and I want it now,
I don’t care how.
But, my bad,
that’s not how it’s to be had.
In a hurry to a fault,
more like a child than an adult.
Eyes grow big with wonder
then I trip and blunder.
I need some cool and serene,
not this amphetamine!
I’m not used to this high.
What if I should fall and die?
What if, what schmif, I must be brave,
or I’ll ‘what if’ into my grave.
Okay, get a grip and breathe,
of this craziness, take leave.
Breathe deep and clear your head,
put all your worries to bed.
In and out, slow and steady,
soon enough, you’ll be ready
to think things through.
And when you do,
conclusions will clap like thunder.
No more worries about a blunder.

Sorting stuff out can be crazy sometimes 'fer sure, especially when it crawls out of the sock drawer and into your head.

Sew ya know what I did?
I created a 'lonesome sock drawer' and slammed it shut!

Once or twice I left my fingers in it (ouch!#%@#*%#!)

Sew ya know what I didn't do for a week?
Tickle.


88 socks in the drawer without a match!

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

I like this. You reached inside yourself and gave yourself pats on the back and internal fortitude and some despair. You rocked
