Brain Disses Heart Poem by John Sensele

Brain disses heart
Challenging him to take part
In a wit game
To determine who's to blame

For falling in love
With a lady sent from above
To tease the undefeated
And decide whether he's ever fainted

When his heart beat fast
How long Brain can last
In his presence to reason
In due season

When lighting strikes
Hikes bikes
Smites and sweeps Brain
Off his rocker come rain

Or shine in clear water
Through a love letter
That for the first time
In a conducive clime

Hits Brain where it matters the most
As Heart exacts a high cost
In adrenalin
In dopamine

Serratin neurons
To pieces in zillions
In lights, in tights
In whites and in sights

Brain struggles hard
Brandishes pieces of lard
To brush aside
Fate from his stride

Whether Heart or Brain
Can or cannot ascertain
The extent to which a sentimental attack
Had smitten the pack

Of reserves of resistance
Which in every circumstances
Stands Brain in good stead
In bad times, in good times in his homestead

Where Brain never can shake
Whether a heart attack is a mistake
Or a genuine attempt
To brush his unkempt

Mare in his lair
Where love can dare
To swing the pendulum
In favour of Heart as a violinist strings Heart can strum.
