“When Logic Takes a Day Off”

Have you ever seen a price drop?

Is it anything like a balloon pop?

Have you heard a cow go, “neigh.”

Or watched a horse cook up its hay?

Those questions are silly questions, but;

Somewhere, someone still yelled, “What!”

Silliness is all over, no matter where you are;

In China, Australia, Africa — near or far.

Everyone has said stranger things, I’m sure.

Just look at the show, “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir;”

Or even the show “Ghost and Mr. Chicken” —

Two goofy movie classics ripe for pickin’.

I love odd and strange things, such as that.

Like someone who can play a tune with their nose.

Or two spoons tuned into a musical show;

Or glasses of water, playing a tune I know.

Silly things can happen at the weirdest times;

Even when church bells ring their chimes.

When we talk too fast, our thoughts mis-align;

Making one wonder, are you out of your mind?

Like using a lawn mower to blow the snow;

Or using a snow blower when you need to mow.

We people can do the darndest things —

I bet that’s the way laughter always sings.

So have I ever seen a price drop?

Nope, “price adjustments” at a retail shop.

A balloon pop? Of course, I have seen that scene;

I have seen them leave children’s hands and be mean.

As far as a cow neighs? A horse that cooks?

I’ll leave these silly thoughts for children’s storybooks.

These are my silly answers for my crazy thoughts.

But these words of mine — they can’t be bought.

They’re my pride and joy, my silly fun stuff;

That only my mind can think, when I’ve had enough.

So entertain yourself when boredom is at your brain’s door;

There is endless fun in the words that your brain hoards.

So, have fun.

Now I’m done!
