Thought-Jumps

Thought-Jumps

 

Synaptic–snapping neurons

Racing round my brain

Pushing me in thought-jumps

Again, again, again

 

Slow down racing neurons

Don't over-tax my brain

Don't push my rapid thought-jumps

I want my brain still sane

 

We neurons will unite

To keep your brain still sane

And stop synaptic-snapping

And settle down again

Now neurons look what you've gone done
You've muddled our MC
Crabtree and Evelyn body care?
Damn, gotta have a pee ?

Hang in there, Don. Out of mixed messages can come
some inspired delight! Now, I must get back on track here while I blame you for leading me to a bit of "Allo, Allo"!
Sorry if my brain's in a middle...
Must stop now - I'm in need of a puddle;
Oops, I meant a Jimmy Riddle -
Excuse a moment's mental muddle! ?

Behave you pesky neurons
Yes you I'm talkin' 'bout
Now you've 'ttracted Brian
Do I have to shout? ?
