I'm
sitting here
in my chair
My
paper's on
my lap
Got my pen
in my hand
But
I feel like
taking a nap
Struggling
hard to
write a poem
Doing the
best I can
do
But
I'm getting
very nervous
Nothing is
coming thru
Oh
LORDIE me, I
do believe
My
mind's done
gone to
sleep
Will
I have to
set here
long,
before I
hear a
little peep?
Quickly awake
wondering
Who
was I
writing to?
While I'm
trying to
remember,
A
tiny little
thought
breaks thru
I
was trying
to write a
poem
and
nothing was
coming thru
I
fell asleep,
like I was
old
I'm
awake
now and
still don't
have a clue
Now
what was
that poem
about
That
I was going
to write?
I
just can't
remember it
at all
Oh
LORDIE, I'm
a pitiful
sight
Will
someone help me
please?
Bring back
those lines
to me
If I
can
just recall
them
I'd write
this
poem you
see
Thank you,
thank you ,I
do declare
Now
it's
coming back
to me
I
was trying
to write a
poem
About "The
loss of
memory'
