I CAN'T REMEMBER Just a line to say I'm living, That I'm not among the dead, Though I'm getting more forgetful And mixed up in the head. I got used to my arthritis, To my dentures I'm resigned, I can manage my bifocals - But God, I miss my mind. For sometimes I can't remember When I stand at the foot of the stairs, If I must go up for something, Or have I just come down from there? And before the fridge so often, My poor mind is filled with doubt - Have I just put some food away, Or have I come to take some out? And there's the time when it is dark With my nightcap on my head, I don't know if I'm retiring, Or just getting out of bed. So, if it's my turn to write you, There's no need in getting sore, I may think that I have written And don't want to be a bore. So remember that I love you And wish that you were near; But now it's nearly mail time, So I must say goodbye, dear. There I stand beside the mail box, With a face so very red - Instead of mailing you my letter, I opened it instead! .......author unknown....... ==== GenHumor Mailing List ==== !^NavFont02F034F0007NGHHJ51F574 Maggie's World of Courthouse Dust & Genealogy Fever http://www.infinet.com/~dzimmerm/mindex.html *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* God Put Me On Earth to Accomplish a Certain Number of Things.
