Cogito ad absurdum.
I think I thought but was not sure. To be a thought it must endure within your mind until you see it is not passing hurriedly. I know that I was never taught the way that I should think a thought. My teachers never said to me this is a thought it’s plain to see. My mind and brain both entertain the thought that I should think again I would do, if I knew how to, That’s why I’m asking you Can you instruct me in the art? of telling different thoughts apart. If you could teach me so I knew I would be most grateful to you. I think, I think but I don’t know and I would gladly undergo. Any training course that I could find If it would clarify my mind. How can I recognise a thought, I don’t know how, I was not taught. I think ,that you might think me mad, I think that is the thought I had. This thinking is a strange old game I wonder if you feel the same or are you certain that you think. Oh I give up I need a drink.  :detective:

piers,
Life can be a mix up for sure. This is well put. I added a collections of latin phrases which are excerpts from a poem I did on another site.  Z2 aka Larry ad rem de facto ad hoc ad absurdum ad infinitum ad nauseum nunc est bibendum omnia vincit amor. ***************** in fact, for this particular purpose, the point of absurdity is to infinity point of making one sick to judge in matters of taste now it is time to drink love conquers all. |

"I think I thought but was not sure."
Love that line. Anyway, love the word play. When I was younger, I used to thinnk about that. I would spend long periods of time thinking about how it is that I'm "thinking" .... weird.. anyway,good job! |

Dear PP
Nice stuff, and only one nit : I think, I think but I don’t know and I would gladly undergo. Any training course that I could find If it would clarify my mind. This line seems too long, and could easily be : Any training I could find or Any course that I could find without changing the meaning at all ! Love Alan ..... I think ! |

Well I don't know about the rest, but I thought that it was jolly well thought out.
I think? I was so confident before, but now I've read it twice, I'm not sure what I think. Actually it dances delightfully and just screams for some form of iambic meter. The first stanza sets the tone. Keep to that rhythm and you have a very funny rib tickler. I think I thought but was not sure. To be a thought it must endure within your mind until you see it is not passing hurriedly. I know that I was never taught the way that I should think a thought. My teachers never said to me this is a thought it’s plain to see. My mind and brain both entertain the thought that I should think again I would do, if I only knew, and this is why I’m asking you Can you instruct me in the art? of telling different thoughts apart. If you could teach me so I knew I would be most obliged to you. Obliged carries the stress better. See? I think, I think but I don’t know and I would gladly undergo. A training course if I could find that it would clarify my mind. How can I recognise a thought, I don’t know how, I was not taught. I think() that you might think me mad, Dump the comma. I think that is the thought I had. This thinking is a strange old game I wonder if you feel the same or are you certain that you think. Oh I give up ! I need a drink ! Exclamation marks to denote exasperation also provide a dramatic pause. A |
