Investigative thoughts by the thought police.

So lets start from the beginning shall we!

Tell me what happened exactly?

Well Officer! One minute the thought was there,

the next that thought was gone.

He did a runner I think!

Why do you say that?

Well! We were both thinking

along the same lines together

at the same time...

then nothing! 

Like I turned around

and he was gone.

I've looked everywhere Officer I tell you!

Under the bed, the carpet, even through my mind.

So you think the moment had

something to do with the thought's disappearance?

Yes! I do!

I see! I think we may be onto something here.

We're had these moments before

running off with a thought.

Will it come back Officer?

Probably, highly unlikely Sir.

We're found in the past

these rogue thoughts elope

with moments hiding behind time

and attaching to other thoughts

as a mask.

Why do you ask Sir?

I was just thinking Officer... 

I've lost another thought.

Andrew, I must tell you this might be... age (not a crime). :)

Well, I’ve had the same experience, and I’m glad some thoughts ran off. I wouldn’t want to be seen with some of them. A witty and well written poem.

lol just my silly humour Robert, yes age is the villain!

Be like the policeman, or indeed the poet that you are, and keep a little notepad and pen with you at all times, 'tis invaluable evidence to prove your thoughts. :))

Beccy.

PS. I have a notepad and pen with me always; even on my beside cabinet.

Thanks Beccy and Merry Xmas and a safe New Year to you and yours.

A moment I understand all too well. One minute the thought is there the next moment you're standing in the basement wondering where the hell it went...and why is it those rogue thoughts seem to op up in the middle of the night and by the time you've got your glasses on, away they went.

Good one Andrew, I quite like it.

Thanks Ted for stopping by. Much appreciated. I hate these thoughts which come in the night tricking the mind that you will remember in the morning! How many times! I tell you, lots! lol
