Did I Remind You I am Sane

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells."

It is not my fault that I do not know
where I last placed my Subaru’s car keys.
It is not because I have forgotten where
it is just that I don’t remember where

If the milk happens to taste a little off
and kinda thick in consistency,
Don’t ask me why, again, please!
I got it fresh from the hot car two days ago.

If the bread seems rather stale
with green stuff growing off the crust,
I’m sure my sweet grandma did say,
it was a grain date loaf not green and outdated.

It is not my fault the battery wall clock stopped
and all my children were late for school.
I phoned the City Electricity Board asking,
" how do I switch my wall clock back on."

If you ask me to do errands for you today
please write the list on my baby’s brow,
that way I am sure not to forget what to buy
as baby is permanently attached to my breast.

I would invite you back to my place for a cup of tea,
but I think I might not be in when you come.
I assure you I am not like this seven days a week,
only on weekends and on the other five days too.

    And you did indeed wake up my brain cells, nonsense is like the morning coffee

    As for this write this was funny, especially the baby part, I thought how you did this write was cool because at the beginning I was like OK I want to read more than by the end of the poem my mouth just dropped slowly with each line I read, it made me giggle
    It sounds like it was fun to write also, and you reflected that well within the lines, I liked it.
    Thank you for entering!
