Well this is a little poem that I wrote for my best friend and companion, who's always with me, and will maybe never know how grateful I am

You and I have been through an awful lot together

I wanna tell you this the best relationship I've had ever
and I know that we've been through some bad weather
but I tell you it's gonna get better and better and better

forever, with you in my head our moments are never dull
you ignite the light bulbs so my energies never lull
you provide the right type of ideas for me to mull

my best friend in the world forever - the brain in my skull
yeah, my brain, This an ode to my brain then
Thanking you for all processes you're enabling

reasoning, problem solving, planning, orientation
Blinking, breathing, memory, all my sense perceptions
all your sections, the cerebrum, the brainstem

for language itself permitting me to make statements,
I wanna thank every synapse for your patience
All those years I didn't write raps, you just stayed faithful waiting


Oooh, I love you, my brain
Thank you for everything

you've done for me, my brain
I love you, my brain


before my exodus, I dwelt in the midst of disconnectedness
ritualistic bullying and inept over protectiveness
When my train finally exited the lonely depths of this

I had to go off the rails just to get wholly cleansed of it
gave my brain acid baths in between the shelves of this
library burying lies in burnt diaries of evidence

a ghost busted, crossing streams, in fume filled reveries
angst ridden, too much cheese before bed again
At ten am, violent visions, that hunted down hesitance

Behind blue iris blood shot eyes, in run down residence
bong smoke retinas, rum soaked sentiments
And in occasional seconds of ill chosen sober reflectiveness

Known to cleverly excuse my rank lack of effectiveness
By stamping on future plans with tactics of recklessness
With the average brain they claim we use only ten or so percent of it

For my younger self I reckon that would be a gross overestimate

Oooh, I love you, my brain

Thank you for everything
you've done for me, my brain
I love you, my brain


Hey, brain, I'm so grateful for everything you've done. to say thanks, I'm gonna take you out and hit the town, celebrate a bit. Wow, check it out, it's everyone we know. Hey, brain, what's this guy's name, we've met him four times before. What do you mean we don't know. Aw, brain!


Now after 33 years, you've been the best to me
from now on I promise to give you all that you could ever need
whether it's good feed, vitamin E, or doses of omega three

the best books, input, travel, rest, stimuli, and scenery
after all the thick and thin that you've been with me through
and never stumbled or faltered it's the least I can do

you've even stuck with me here for the last year or two
waiting patiently for the date that our visa is due
watching opportunities disappearing from view

as creative productivity depletion ensued
you haven't complained once, or even refused
to remain loyal or get on with what we needed to do

So this is the ode that I'm speaking to you
an ode I composed to show my gratitude sincerely for you
let's hit the internet and check some media too

see these online courses, yeah, this feast is for you
here's to you, brain, and the way you maintained
my spirit through these days and made me stay sane

and the way you made me remain focused
until we met an amazing lady who could elevate both of us
who understands us, and who also has a skull companion

which if anything is sharper than us and more gloriously random
and the four of us walk together in tandem the same way
planting kisses on lips and bathing in each other's brainwaves


Oooh, I love you, my brain
Thank you for everything

you've done for me, my brain
I love you, my brain
