Marbles

Marbles

I thought and then I wondered,

Where have my marbles gone?

How many had went missing?

Can a fool find them by dawn?

The old marble-bag I revealed,

Was nimble and brilliantly able,

Lately comments have heaped,

My outlandish mind's unstable.

I know I had some task to do,

But blank and can't remember?

Was my appointment for July,

Or did I book it in September?

While I am opening the fridge,

My mind has deceived of me.

Conflicting if I hungered fruit,

Or did I want that roast beefy?

I'll steadfast my precious plan,

My brain-cells are firing to go,

Arranged my golf tee-off time,

Driving to a local ice-rink solo.

But I should rightly remember,

It'll come back I surely wager,

But then recall my usual walk,

I'd neglected to take in nature.

Maybe if I listen to soft music,

It'll calm these frayed nerves?

Where is the freaking remote,

Duping my synapse reserves?!

Could everything persist lost?

I'm struck by this sharp pain,

I journey fast to the restroom,

Arrive in my bedroom in-vain.

I heard this snappy loud bark,

I think it comes from outside?

Sounds like somebody's dog?

I'm sorry boo come-on inside.

I better take my genius-pills,

I pour milk into a large glass,

Overlook them top of a table,

And head out to cut my grass.

What this strong burnt smell?

Oh dear, it's my pasta water?!

That flipping stove is on sear!

How I was tricked I'm unsure?

It could be I am overly tired?

Would a nap help my despair?

Conditioner bathe my crown,

Before I shampooed my hair.

Should I telephone my doctor?

Maybe he'll see me this week?

Sir what's troubling you today?

Who the heck are you I speak?!

I'd empty cereal into my bowl,

The box ends up in the fridge,

Fill the fishbowl with my milk,

Toss my cereal in the garbage.

The doctor phoning right back,

There's one opening for today.

When did I make a reservation?

I'll reserve your best cod fillet.

I awake up genuinely groggy,

Boy what a weird bizarre nap.

I must avoid that daily brandy,

And save it just for a nightcap.

I thought and then I wondered,

Where have my marbles gone?

How many had went missing?

Can a fool find them by dawn?
