BRAIN FOOD<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a genuine replica brain,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a collectible edition,<\/p>\n

I grant it\u2019s not the latest model,<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s in good condition.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It still processes data pretty well<\/p>\n

Though there are some memory lapses<\/p>\n

It knows the difference between good and evil,<\/p>\n

And even between knaves and apses.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s minimal start up time with the help of good coffee<\/p>\n

And it can occasionally multi-task<\/p>\n

But if you want infallible or perfect<\/p>\n

You\u2019d best not ask.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This brain is not for sale,<\/p>\n

Nor is it on permanent loan<\/p>\n

But what with our new technology<\/p>\n

But I understand it can be cloned.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If\u00a0 you\u2019re looking for help with the Bible,<\/p>\n

Or music and good books,<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a lot of things stuffed in the cortex<\/p>\n

That deserves a second look.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you find someone to clone it,<\/p>\n

Please do make it known,<\/p>\n

I would like a backup copy<\/p>\n

Of my very own.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a genuine replica brain,<\/p>\n

Though sometimes the synapses are misfiring<\/p>\n

This accounts for the forgetfulness,<\/p>\n

Just blame it on the wiring.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was thinking of advertising this on eBay<\/p>\n

But then I remembered I had a blog,<\/p>\n

If you would like a data dump download<\/p>\n

Then reply to this data log.<\/p>\n
