Brainy Stasis by Peter Oliver

Analysis paralysis

a mall-a-lysis I hate.

 

I’m stuck in my head,

my feeling forgot,

around and around,

an impossible knot,

ideas, ideas, ideas,

I’ve got!

 

My theories astound,

my mind’s a wiz,

solving this thing,

the get-it-right-biz.

Fixing you up,

nailing it down,

un-mystifying me,

unjumbling frowns.

 

Gosh I’m amazing!

I’ve picked it apart.

 

Now, where are we at?

 

Rats!

Back at the start.
