Tarzan in A Can of Beans

There is considerable danger that a man will be crazy between dinner and supper; but it will not directly answer any good purpose that I know of, and it is just as easy to be sane. - Thoreau

climb on up into my head and swing from an unattached vine

if you dare to make the twisted, treacherous climb

you're welcome to do so any day or time

be sure to take along a rhyme

just to kill the time

follow your muse

don't be confused

sway on whichever creeper you choose

you can't win but you surely won't lose

as long as you pay your dues

once inside, you'll hear a cavernous, hollow echo

and see the walls adorned in a twisted, sort of art deco

watch out for an occasional flying gecko

pay no attention to the lofty voice screaming in falsetto

you can step an insane jig

as you dance 'neath my wig

and poke around with a twig

your expectations mustn't be too high or big

or your thirst quenchable with merely a swig

ya' dig?

Author's Note

"As naturally as the oak bears an acorn and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done." - Thoreau

Stepping inside someone mind can be a bit treacherous. Thoughts swirling in all directions as the creative ideas begin to flow.

The creative process can be quite chaotic and misleading at first lol
