Ideas
I once met a farmer whose name was Brain
He gave me a packet of seeds
All that was needed was sunshine and rain
To grow these flowers, trees, and weeds
And I planted a seed into the ground
Kneeled down to wait, and peered in close
And to my surprise I suddenly found
A fabulous fantastic rose
I pondered upon this wonderful sight
To see my idea come to life
All people and I found it a delight
That my rose ceased all of the strife
The next seed I planted grew so slow
And with it hope and greater glee
And as I lingered it began to grow
Into presumably a tree
The tree was grand and was grounded by roots
For it was my greatest notion
Receiving much praise I gathered the fruit
From my tree of premonition
And lastly, I dropped a dangerous seed
Oh! A detrimental concept
For out of the dirt exploded a weed
Oh! And from What I could percept
The weed killed the flower, tore it to shreds
And with its thorns had choked the tree
So there the plants lay, withered and dead
I wept, for these were a part of me
So I met with the one they called the Brain
And demanded that he explain
The farmer was stern, neither happy or sad
He calmly concluded the idea was bad
