Oh Ye of Little Brain




Stirring the pudding pot
otherwise known as Brain,
I fish out a lump:
brown and - lumpish - and plain.

No matter how often I edit it,
over and over  again,
it remains stubbornly lumpy,
refusing to sing any sweeter refrain.

Sorry, kids, it is hard to elevate this lump, a response to Kim's prompt at Verse First to take a simple object, write, edit, and elevate it. The only thing I am elevating, these days, is my feet as I lift them up onto the couch. Am totally zapped. But hoping for a miraculous resuscitation of my Muse at some point, hopefully before all of you give up on me. 

Did you know you can type in "pudding pot of brain" at google images and thousands of images come up? That is rather frightening.

I will not open this one up to suggestions as to how to improve it. By hitting the Delete button? hee hee


Of brains and trains
I'm missing track
I live in hope
that I'll be back
