#2: monosyllablipo -- If you stop to think of it, it will stop to think of you.

If you stop to think of it, it will stop to think of you.

Put it out of your mind. Put it out of your mind. Put it out of your mind.

Let's think of fun things. Short things. Nice things. Dogs. Sun. Trees. Hogs. Bogs. Boys. Wa-- no. Not them. Too close. Too dark.

Trees are nice. Trees won't hurt you, so they say. Just leave them be. Leaf them be. Leaf them off.

I like fall. Fall is nice. Leaves. Gourds. Rakes. Crisp air.

It drinks your thoughts.

Short thoughts! Quick thoughts! Sharp thoughts, bright, brisk, clear. Move by. Please. Just go on by. Just this one more time.

Oh oh oh here it is. Oh oh oh. Move on, move on, move on.

Grass, breeze, warm days. Soft beds. Fair days.

Let it pass by. One more time. Let it not stop here. Not now, not now, not now.

And if it slows, if its eyes roll. And will it be tall or short. Will it smell bad. Will it be wet, or will it be dry. Sharp or blunt. Will it will it no. Eggs, toast, milk. Books on a soft couch. Warm tea.

Let it not stop. Let it drag on, slow, foul, harsh, but not stop. Hot breath. Pink cheeks, beer, scarves, hot tea, please, but oh please think of a thing that is not it.

If you stop to think of it, it will stop to think of you.

I love this! But I'm not sure what it is that you don't want to think of? Hogs, Bogs, Boys, Wags, Ways? Warmth? Don't tell me. I'll think of it.
