D is for deficient

 This poem owes much to the Oxford Dictionary of Rhymes!

(adj. 1. lacking some element or characteristic; defective
2. insufficient; inadequate)

Right now my mind is deficient.
In the face of this word
I'm a blank.

If I were to be more efficient
I'd have a mind that's like
a full tank.

I'd turn on my mind's ignition
with a smart wrist
and plenty of verve.

And without too much wasteful emission
I'd speed into every
thought-curve.

But I'm not a car, I'm a person
and plenty of faults
lie therein

So in case my defects worsen
I'll keep these ideas
herein.
