Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!I wrote this poem this morning to use for reading and pronunciation practice in my class on Tandem. I didn't write it deliberately to be good for teaching English, but it turned out that it was. Hope you like it.I’VE LOST MY MINDI’ve lost my mind.I asked my wife.“Look in your jacket pocket,” she said,Like my mind was a wallet or keys to the house.No dice.I asked my son:“Check in the freezer,” he said.“Maybe it fell in there when you were looking for ice cream.”I looked. Not there, But I did find a mango-strawberry popsicle.I asked my daughter.“Did you look in the car?” she asked. “You’re always leaving stuff in the car.”I checked on the seats and under the seats and behind the seats—no luck. I even checked in the trunk. My mind wasn’t there, but I found a lot of trash.I bagged it and tossed it. I even vacuumed Up all the sand from our last trip to the beach.Finally I asked my dog.He stood on his hind legs and looked into my head.Then he barked, licked my ear and VOILA!My mind rebooted!It wasn’t lost at all. Just napping or maybe MIA.Man’s best friend, the dog.Only one thing worries me.Did he find my mind by sight—Or smell?By B.
