St. Anthony

Can I ask you a favor?

Could you peer inside my head?

Will you find my brain and show me,

What has taken it's place instead?

 

Once more, I seem to have lost my mind. 

Or was it an ear?

Or was it an eye?

It's funny, I don't recall again

Where it is I put my time.

 

I've gotten so good at this forgetful art

That I've begun to misplace my body parts.

Is there a miscalculation in my wit's design?

Is it my failure to keep my thoughts aligned?

 

Can I ask you a favor?

If you feel so inclined,

Will you compare my head to that of yours

And show me what's missing from mine?
