Argh!
Having reviewed my newly revised ending to
The last post published, I find its conclusion
Seriously in need of simplification, so please
Note that as soon as my aching head can
Wrap itself around a set of words, which
Prove up beat and clearly assembled (rather than
So scrambled as to make far too little sense)
I, being very much aware of my need to clean up
The end of said post, await the natural emergence of
My intuitive powers to give my deeply fatigued
Word processor a thumbs up concerning
My intellect’s readiness to rein in pain at least
Enough to reassemble words chosen in haste when
Discomfort felt too great for my processor to
Keep thinking straight so as to conclude that post in
Such a fashion as to be both upbeat and make such
Good sense as to match the best of the rest ...
And having consciously processed
The word rest,‘REST’ is what my over taxed brain is
In need of, right now, and thus is your
Friend, Tug Boat Annie, heading back to bed with
A toot-a-toot toot, signaling Mrs. Hamilton to
Come aboard and be my first mate till
My current state of mental fatigue falls fast asleep as
Proves true, here and there, throughout every day, which
Is a very good thing based upon this well known fact—
It’s imperative that your brain and mine fully absorb
The very best recipe for healing, which is
Comprised of these six ingredients:
Plenty of Fluids
Plenty of Patience
Plenty of Positive attitude
Protein as needed
And last but not least
Plenty of Zzzzzz ...
Whoops!
Due to my sleepy state of mind
I almost forgot to add ingredient #7
That being the strength of my spirit, which
Is bolstered by positively focused
Breeziness that lifts
Cheeky smiles
Known to transform
Cortisol production into
The sweet smell of
Serotonin absorption
And here’s why that plan for
My recovery is bound to
Work naturally for me—
If cortisol makes grim feel glum
While serotonin bears what
Must be borne with a grin
And if I must spend 24/7 with
Myself, day in and day out, I’ll make
Certain to exercise my smile most especially
When I’m home alone in hopes of
Managing rather than escalating
Discomfort, knowing that
Serotonin, being a natural pain killer
Is actually a by-product of smiling based in
Positive thoughts dancing through my mind
And with hopes of that tasty morsel of knowledge
Cutting my painful headache down to size
My think tank plans to empower
Its fatigued processor to consider lots
To smile about until the Sandman, sprinkling
His magic over my aches and pains, transports
All of me into Slumberland so peacefully that
My brain buddies up with healing regardless of
Whether it’s daytime, twilight or
By the light of the silvery moon🙂
😴Zzzzzzzz
(BTW, that’s not to say that
From time to time, I never look
Like this🤨, because, being
Human, it’s a sure bet that I do
