Just a goofy poem. There’s a part of me that’s still very much inspired by the Shel Silverstein poems I read as a kid.
When your mind needs a soothing caress
to relieve you of your mental stress,
hot coffee or a warm shower
can make you less dour,
or losing yourself in a book
within the pages’ solitude nook,
but don’t combine them
on a most careless whim,
because then you get a soggy page,
which will send you into a rage,
or a page with a coffee stain
to make you most surely disdain,
but if you need a mental break
for your sanity’s sake,
then find that coffee mug,
or book to unplug,
and watch the stress leave your brain,
like soapy water down the shower drain.
