Senior Moment

 

I look around the room

with question marks over my head

what was it I forgot

why did I come in here in the first place?

now that I'm here

my mind's a blank

what was it I wanted?

what was I going to get?

it had to be something important

or I would not have rushed in here to get it

I was bound and determined

to find whatever it was

I ask the wife

she doesn't know

I ask the dog

he plays dumb

try as I might I still can't remember

but I did find that bill I was looking for

along with my Medicare card

and the mail from last week

now I feel better

for a while there

I thought I was losing it

it's not what I was looking for but

finding something

is better than nothing

a thought is an illusive thing

next time I come in here

I'll remember what it was

by then I won't need it.

Looking for my spectacles was one of my woes,
Found them in the end, they were on my nose.

When you have an active brain, it is continuing to work ahead while
you head to obtain what was in mind previously and it places the
latter in the "done and dusted" file.

Not just me then? I often forget to remember, or do I remember to forget.
