What are you thinking?

What are you thinking?

A Poem by andrew mitchell

What are you thinking?
They said I had lateral thinking;
solving problems in an indirect,
creative approach.
You're driving down the road
on a wild stormy night in your car.
when you pass by a bus stop,
you see three people standing.
An old man who looks to be dying
Your best buddy who once saved your life
The perfect lover, you have been dreaming 
all your life.
Knowing there can only be
one passenger in your car,
Whom would you choose?
The old man of course!
After helping the dying man
into your car, you can give
your best buddy the keys,
allowing the wait......
with your perfect lover for the bus.
Maybe, I have longitudinal thinking
I would  of thought
this could not be true;
repeating the same thoughts
of the same items
over a long period.
Finally, it occurred to me,
I decided........settled
for "off the grid" thinking.
It's way out there!

Gee
Hmmmm,there's a question.I've often wondered how it is that women can bleed for half of their lives and survive,what it would be like to have a great Danes spine( therefore saving the wife a job,)why on earth Donald Trump has candy floss for hair and a polyethylene bag for skin,how a fella could ever fancy another fella(so understandable with women,I think I'm a lesbian in waiting)whether respect should be earned,given,bestowed,why God chose not to give us men breasts(imagine that,the streets would be empty!!!!)what use mine when a baby has popped out of hers,how a flask knows what is hot and cold.....I mean the list is endless mate,endless.
