Itch in my Brain

There's an itch in my brain, and I just can't scratch it

it's been there now, for almost 14 days

went to see my doctor, he said, just can't explain it

I have looked at it now in over 50 different ways

Do you think it's a tumor, could it be it's a growth

I need to get some rest now, I'm feelin like a putz

no he said, you can eliminate them both

I'm more concerned about the swelling in your nuts

he stared at my crotch, and kind of shook his head

said it looks pretty bad, you might need a transfusion

I grabbed him by the collar, “it's my brain” I said

this whole crotch thing, leaves me in confusion

Well let me take another look, just 1 more time

I must have missed something, though I don't know why

what's that sound I hear, it sounds like a chime

no by jove, I think I've found a fly

there's a fly in my head, is that what's wrong

can you get it out, do I need an operation

sounds like the lyrics to a Todd Rungren song

you need to call someone else, I'm going on vacation

So that's the way it is, that's the way it's going

there's a song in my brain, and my girl has left me cold

so that's the real itch, is my broken heart showing

guess I'm not crazy, just tired and old

Ahh, Gomer, love, this is a clever poem, beautifully crafter. Although it can be a painful process, sometimes better to get to the bottom of that itch! Hugs xx

Last line is the truth. Sometime old mind won't rest. Too much thinking and never enough vacation. I like this poem. I believe all of us are in the same sinking boat. A excellent poem.

I laughed reading this one. Good stuff.

this sounds like a doggerel, I like the flow and it is even humorous. sing it to us.. it was not tragical, just a bit amusement. I liked it.
