I Have a Whole in My Head

Location

I have a hole in my head.
It's not that big - (not that large really)
Like the skin and bone disappeared
And a gap was left in its stead.
 
Oh, but I don't mind it Fig -
I only noticed it yesterday, you see.
 
Tell me a story -
Oh! Please, please do!
There is a hole in my head
Waiting for words to pass through.
 
Oh.
I'm sorry, but could you say that again?
I didn't catch a word that you said.
It's like the words floated right through my head!
 
Oh!
I've just found another hole on my right,
It's just as big as the other on the left...
I wonder if my brain is all right,
Perhaps there's been a theft?
 
I hear your words,
I hear you talking -
Yet, they don't stay inside,
The words just keep on walking.
 
My dear Fig, what am I to do?
I'm having trouble paying attention to you.
 
Oh, you're not boring - Not by far!
I just can't figure out where your words are.
 
Ah! There they are, they're floating away -
Gone today not left to stay.
But talk again - I'll see if I can catch them!
I'll cup my ears and try and clamp them!
 
Ah Ha, it worked!
I remember what you said!
But oh, oh wait,
Now your words are stuck in my head.
 
Perhaps, now I have a whole in my head.
Ah, no, just a grammar pun instead.
