Overthinking
There was once a man who sat and wallowed
About the things he could not swallow
Like what’s inside of his hollow head
And what the hell happens when you’re dead
He thought and thought but he could not still
Find a way to get over this momentous hill
So he made a plan with his full brain span
And he drove over the hill with his van
And then he quit his wallow
And he stopped his sorrow
And he was finally happy at last
About this poem
This poem I made up in the shower about a man who thinks to hard about things to difficult and finally finds out the easiest way was the best way.
