on absentmindedness

[Jolt]

Was I about to go look for ice cream, or do I need to buy new socks?
Should I pour a glass of jim beam, do I need to wind my clocks?
I don't know where my head's been, or where it's going to
Am I bound for the looney bin, or will it be the zoo?

Hahahaha. I have no idea what Jim Beam is, but the poem's nice, so you know, good stuff. I think humour is vitally missing from most poems nowadays, good to see some here.

you managed to encapsulate my father in four lines and 57 words. Great poem though!
