Man Inside My Head

There's a man inside my head

he lives there everyday

he's there when I wake up at night

he's there when I go play

 

I wonder how this little man

got way inside my head?

Maybe he crept in my ear

when I was asleep in bed

 

Maybe he dropped in my nose

while I hung upsdie down

or maybe he flew in my mouth

while I laughed at a clown

 

How do I know he's in there?

How do I know you say?

I'll tell you how it happened

it was just the other day

 

I had come in from outside

and was laying down to nap

when from way inside my head

I heard a tap, tap, tap

 

I said "Who's there?  What's going on?

Is someone in my brain?

Hello.   Hello.  Is someone there?"

Just tap, tap, tap again

 

I went up to the mirror

looked deep inside my eyes

I saw him in his kitchen

making homemade pies

 

There's a man inside my head

he lives there everyday

and as long as he is quiet

I guess he's here to stay

Very nice indeed. Great tempo and rhyming, and very humerous as well. I'm sure kids of all ages will love this poem. Excellent work.

This is such a fun poem. Maybe that wasn't the direction you were heading with the man being within your head...but the reflection of it was familiar to my own. This is a great write, that I enjoyed very much and would recommend for others to read as well.

I especially enjoyed the first three paragraphs as a terrific intro. Great tempo for a fun and playful piece.

This poem put a huge smile on my face. I found it to be so quirky and different and that's the best part about it. Perhaps he's your conscience popping out and turning into a form that you can recognize because we all know how we can ignore our conscience sometimes.

Very cheerful :)
