My brain fell asleep

My brain fell asleep
Right inside my head
From sitting around
Not using it at all.
I tried to drink a Mt. Dew
I even tried to read a book;
David Eddings to be precise.

You see my brain became
Lonely and bored,
Because I wasn’t using it at all.
I was just sitting, mindlessly
Watching TV, so soon it
Was snoring and sleeping soundly.

My brain snored so loudly,
That my head began to convulse
And horribly shake about.
But it didn’t even notice—
It just kept on napping.

It slept right through the morning,
And through most of the day as well.
Despite that I wanted to play,
It took a siesta, and was still in the hay!
It slumbered deep through dinner,
And desert as well.

Try as I might,
My brain slept all day, and all night.
(what a horrible mistake!)
Now, I am tried you see…
But I can’t go to sleep,
For my brain is awake,
And wants to play, to read,
To hold conversation!
