"I think its time to talk about

some things you're doing, Ned,

what is going on with you?"

She waited. "Brains." He said.

 

"You never change your clothing

its always full of stains,

Why cant you do some laundry?"

Came the answer..."Brains."

 

"You don't wash the dishes or

do yard work anymore

Can you tell me what is

happening?" "Brains!" he swore.

 

"You lost your job, you never sleep

and all your friends complain

that you never call or visit them.

What gives? Please explain."

 

"And one more thing I'd like to say

about last night in bed,

you bit me way to hard

and now I'm....Brains." She said

Weirdly, I have found that doggerel like this is much harder to write than some of my other stuff. I end up editing for flow, like, a million times.

Not bad. Zombie couple concept is a nice twist. Raising the question of who is / who should have been listening more to whom.

 

A few grammar / punctuation tweaks here and there, but I think it stands pretty well as is.

 

 

"I think its time to talk about

some things you're doing, Ned, (Lose the first common)

what is going on with you?"

She waited. "Brains." He said. (Convert 2nd period to common, decaps "He")

 

"You never change your clothing (add common at end)

its (it's) always full of stains,

Why cant you do some laundry?" (can't)

Came the answer..."Brains." (You know, maybe not here, but you can always play with the word "Refrain," like in musical chorus that repeats)

 

"You don't wash the dishes or

do yard work anymore (add common / semi-colon at end)

Can you tell me, what is happening?"

"Brains!" he (stompend / swung / shrugged and) swore.

 

"You lost your job, you never sleep

and all your friends complain

that you never text or visit them.

Hey, what gives? Explain."

 

"And one more thing I'd like to say

about last night in bed,

you bit me way to (too) hard

and now I'm ... BRAAAAIIIiiiiinnssss," she said.
