I wish that I had a good brain,
‘Cause all I can do is complain,
From black crows to wildcats
And eggplants to straw hats
Without one I’m going insane.

This is a really neat poem. It makes you think, and I feel as though it has many layered meanings. Great job compacting so much thought into 5 great lines of poetry!
