Hold that thought, no not that one <br />That one will get you undone <br />The one before which flitted past so fleeting <br />That's the one to which you should be heeding <br /> <br />Don't discard it and put it in a pile of junk <br />That's the thought which is the thought that should be thunk <br />The one you're latching onto is broken and of no use <br />It'll only give you trouble, heartache and abuse <br /> <br />Reach out and grab the one that you carelessly let go <br />That's the thought which really does know <br />The complete truth of the matter, unambiguous and clear <br />Grab that thought and let it steer <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2006)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hold-that-thought-humour-inspiration/
