Critical Cerebral Synapse Doth Momentarily Induce Lapse

thy body electric experiences 
     constant dry cough and wheeze'n 
perhaps explainable 
     via my headstrong commander in chief 

     o' me fifty nine shades of gray matter 
     resorting to treason
or deploying high crimes 
     and misdemeanors 

     during this budding spring season
thus, aye wonder what tooth ink 
     when there occurs 
     a momentary lapse of reason

noah egg zag jeer rate'n, 
     boot aye ham loath to axe 'cept 
the onset of degenerative brain disorder 

     with ma noggin buzzing like bees
perhaps indicative of Alzheimer's 
     notorious amyloid 
     gunk plaque hard as cheese
     Parkinson's, Huntington's Chorea disease, 
or gamut of other no nonsense 

     mind playing game oh yea...absolutely much 
     worse than itching with fleas
Diffuse Lewy Body Malady, 
     (now thought to be the second
  
     most common type of dementia, 
     akin to Google times anxiety 
     over a set plus spare lost black keys
Vascular Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia
  
     (FTD - Also known as 
     Pick's Disease), Depression, 
     Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, ba jeez
perhaps inducing knock knees

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), where pleas
to divine entity, or merely the power 
of positive thinking does absolutely nothing

hence tis ideal to relish each day, 
     where without fail 
health of body, mind 
     and spirit doth prevail
more coveted, favored, 

     and immunized one to sail
their corporeal ship of state 
     rather rejoice, and in due time
     embrace death, rather than decry 
     and blubber accursed fate to whale.
