Pointless Poem: Should Have Had a Coffee First

Jan 252010

I gave myself a lobotomy

I was eating my cereal

Then I had a little spasm

And my arm jerked

And the spoon when up my nose

And scooped out some of my brain

I would have screamed

But my mouth didn’t work

I took out the spoon

And looked at my brain

And, I must say

I wasn’t all that impressed

COULD YOU PLEASE GET OFF THE COUCH?

I need a big idea One to fill a thousand pages An epic in scope A dream on earth Oprah will sit me on her couch And tell me how it has changed her And I will thank her And she will thank me And she will ask me where I got that big idea And I will swipe at her And bare my teeth She cannot have it! It is mine! Hasn’t she got enough? And then they will take me away And not air my segment And I will be all alone with my big idea And ten thousand books in my basement
