Brain Or No Brain That Is The Question Poem by David Harris

I had to go to the hospital today.
They x-rayed my head two days ago,
now I had to go back for the results,
to find out whether I had a brain or not.
I wasn’t sure you see,
for if you shone a light in one ear,
the light came out the other ear,
which made everyone think
there was nothing to stop the light in-between.
So now, one can only assume
that if I did have a brain
it must be the size of a peanut.
Of course, I will not know that
until I get called to go in for my appointment.
However, if it is that small
I’m not going to tell anyone.
