Damsel in Distress

October 1, 2009 at 12:33 pm | Posted in 1 | 7 Comments

There was a damsel

In distress

Or was it just a dirty dress

 

She couldn’t eat

She couldn’t pray

She really didn’t know what to say

 

I met her on the street one day

And took her to the hospital right away

 

The ER nurse was quite a bore

But the young doctor on duty

Was something more

 

My hair is falling out, she sobbed and cried

There’s been a nuclear war and everyone died

The doctor sighed

 

A psychiatrist was called to see her

This damsel in the dirty dress

It was

Two hours later

 

Your brain is accessing the wrong thought

He told her

For whatever reason, havoc is being wrought

Apon your thought

The hair falls out

Quite natually so

But not by war, he swore

 

She smiled and trusted his confident demeanor

The pills would make her mind a bit keener

He’d say

And then took her away

For a stay

 

Well I was happy

Just to leave her

But I saw her later

Maybe six months or so

The same dirty dress

But now she was thinking

Like all the rest

Of us I guess

 

I have to wonder and believe me its confusing

Are the Buddhists correct when they call life illusion

When consciousness shifts to another awareness

What thoughts can we access to explain the weirdness

 

A guide would be nice

And I saw it thrice

On Kung Fu the show

I have to go

 

I bid her farewell

She waved me goodbye

My damsel in distress

With the dirty dress

  1. Dear reader,
    I have these three items posted, but I intend to work on editing them as soon as I learn more about all the vocabulary, like tags, modules, and whatnot, to do that. It will be baby steps, baby steps.

    Signed,
    Totally ignorant (smile)

  2. Hi,
    It was brought to my attention some confusion. A Majority of One is my handle that I use for making comments on blogs. S. A. Adams is my pen name for all my prose and poetry posted now on this blog. Sorry.

  3. One can always find a magic pill
    at The Funny Farm. It’s a dirty,
    silly business, wee damsel.

    If life is an illusion, so is death.
    Apparently there’s a place where
    neither one comes into to play.
    I’ll see you there someday,
    and we can get weird
    together, okay?

    • There’s a place where the electron stays just far enuf away from the proton, lest, ….. things get weird.

      You always make me smile, you writer you.

  4. Crazy is the natural order of the universe!

  5. Dear apple blossom,
    I think you just stated the Chaos Theory of Relativity. But don’t ask me. I dropped out of calculus class when those little mathematical symbols started coming out of the Ether instead of off the blackboard. :)

  6. To Black Hattitude, Thanks for your kind remarks. I’m sorry I couldn’t post them, but I don’t know enuf about this blogging stuff yet. I see your site is mostly in French and dot org and it came in under spam to me. Maybe I will understand more in the future. I’m glad you like my writing.
