PLAYING TRICKS
When the mind is active and you write lots of things
Sometimes the mind plays tricks and problems brings,
Have I written that already or is it still in my busy mind,
Then I have a problem as some things I cannot find.

I wrote a short poem that I thought I had written before,
But, no, it was new although there were same titles galore,
My mind can keep in order the ideas that fly through there,
But when it comes to ‘in and out’, it is quite hard to compare.

When I worked in a busy office I had an in and out tray,
That kept me on track with my invoices day by day,
But there is no such thing as any file trays for the mind
So if there’s some confusion, understanding for me find.

Well I must press on and this little ditty draw to an end,
This one will not be repeated on that you can depend,
Now there’s another poem is rushing to be set free,
From now on I’ll try to organize my mind neat as can be.
