60,000 Thoughts – (Six Sentence Story #156)
Sixty thousand thoughts every day,
So many of them, unrequited.
Effervescent energy at play,
Pop in, and out again, excited.
-o0o-
Every once in a while, one will reign
And will need a little thinking through,
Unlike the bubbles in pink champagne
That only last a second, or two.
-o0o-
Not all remaining are quite so great,
Keep those that are … post, rugged rigour.
Following that pros and cons debate,
Discard those that fail, with much vigour.
-o0o-
They have no value, just take up room;
Where, more fertile thoughts could better bloom.
(Marshalline Sonnet)

Your Six gives one pause, Laura.
Surely, no better advice: “They have no value, just take up room; Where, more fertile thoughts could better bloom.”
