I got home yesterday and I became confused
And yet today, Im still confused.
My mind has gone, it decided to go
I dont quite remember if Im going to or fro,
Nor do I remember which way is up or down
I cant even tell the difference from a smile and a frown
Whats the difference from being right side up,
And from being upside down?
And which color paint is red
And which one is the brown?
Do I war my shoes on my head?
And where do I find my feet?
And how do I know the difference of something sour
Apart from something sweet?
Theres so many things that I should know
That I just dont remember
Like, are we in the month of May?
Or are we in December?
I think that now I need to go
Or do I need to come?
Do I sit upon my head,
Or sit upon my bum?
Should I walk my breakfast bowl
And then go eat my dog?
And is that animal over there a rabbit,
Or a frog?
So now you see,
Im quite confused
I cant do anything right
All my brain juice has been used
And THATS why I didnt get my homework done last night
So are you made?
Or are you glad?
Im still confused
I dont quite know,
But by the way youre turning red
I think that I should go!

This is really funny. I loved reading this. Just one thing though, I'm not sure the last few lines work. I think you should end with: 'and that's why I didn't get my homework done last night'. It adds a nice sense of finality and the lines after this point rather detract from what would be a great ending. Other tan that though, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.
