My Head, It Just Went Boom! Poem by Richard D Remler

*****


My head, it just went boom!
Splattered all over the room.
'Twas not my fault, I must confess.
For I was under such distress
That something deep within me snapped
When there was no one else around.
My head, it just went boom!
And it didn't make a sound.

I blame it on the stress, of course.
For things had been quite rough.
Perhaps I could have handled it,
If I'd been remotely tough.
But my resilience had all been spent.
And I've no clue just where it went.
That's when I stumbled through the room,
And then my head, it just went boom!

Oh, I wonder who will find me?
And I hope it's not a shock.
I hope it's someone logical,
Like good old Mr. Spock.
He'd analyze the situation.
He'd never spell out gloom or doom.
He'd simply say, 'This is illogical.
His head. It just went boom! '

If I could do it all again,
I think I'd think much less.
I'd try and have a little fun,
And I'd do my darnedest best.
I'd try and not let the little things
Get so out of hand so soon.
But it's too late to worry now,
Because my head, it just went boom!
