In Pursuit of a Really Profound Thought

google image for Deep Thought

Wild Woman searches the cupboards
for a Really Deep Thought.
She looks under the bed,
muttering,
finding only dust bunnies there.
They require a vacuum,
so no further thoughts 
need apply.

She knocks on her head.
This hurts.
Bad idea.

Wild Woman, these days,
is in pursuit of a
Good Night's Sleep,
exhaustion and profound thinking
being counter-intuitive.

They have invaded her nighttime repose
with Machines and face-masks.
Her profoundest thought,
as she rises headachey, 
exhausted and grim
in the morning is:
this is clearly
a case of
the cure being
worse
than the disease.

Thankfully, a mite of humor
is, just barely,
sustaining her. 

Corey, known to us as Herotomost, has set us the challenge, over at Real Toads,  to write a bit of personal philosophy, the Pursuit of a Really Profound Thought. I tried, and I failed.  But one Posts On, regardless. Eventually, everything always Gets Better. (Perhaps THAT is my nugget of personal philosophy:))
