IF

If I Only Had a Brain

I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers

Consultin' with the rain.

And my head I'd be scratchin' while

my thoughts were busy hatchin'

If I only had a brain.

I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,

In trouble or in pain.

With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'

you could be another Lincoln

If you only had a brain.

Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.

I could think of things I never thunk before.

And then I'd sit, and think some more.

I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'

My heart all full of pain.

I would dance and be merry,

life would be a ding-a-derry,

If I only had a brain.

I watched the Wizard of Oz,.

when I heard this for the umpteenth time, I knew I had to find the words.

It is pretty catchy. I feel as if I have no brain sometime.

I do not want to make a decision.

Mama used to say, "Sue you are like an ostrich, Hide your head in the sand and let the world go by".

"Sue you are like a catfish, all mouth and no brains,"

You know in retrospect she was correct in both adages.

I had rather hide than face reality,,

I say, "OH it is OK, it does not hurt that bad", Or "What will it matter in 100 years"

Or I just talk and talk, My daughter told me this summer, "Mom you need to stop talking so we can get a picture".

OK I admit it, every time a snapshot is taken I have my mouth open.

So this is me, talking all time, (now squeaking a lot)

knowing tomorrow will come and all will be well.
