A Praise Poem in homage to my brain.
This brain is my brain. It is big and has unlimited rooms and corridors. I can move from room to room Unless I get stuck with clutter, And only I can hear me mutter This brain is my brain. It's time to move to a new room. It's time to move to a new place Leaving unwanted things I no longer want. It's time to expand my mind. This time I leave with clarity. This brain is my brain. Perhaps I'll seek an unknown... A story, a poem, a book or a thought. Oh what michief I can wrought! I'll fly me to the moon Or create a new tune. I'll image, well...I'll imagine I see a purple baboon. This brain is my brain. My brain always find me treasures Filled with fun and simple pleasures. I entertain myself quite well Creating interesting word pictures. This brain is my brain. Oh, my brain has many cubbyholes That hide the past of things long gone. Then when I am unaware My brain brings forth a few to share. My wonderful brain is a super computer And me? I am it's operator.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu
