WHAT'S HIS NAME

WHAT’S HIS NAME?

Remembering my childhood
Seems not hard at all,
But what did I do yesterday
Gets harder to recall.

The fire of youthful memories
Is still burning bright,
While what I did more recently
Slipped right out of sight.

I just went to another room,
Left my favorite chair
Stood for a while wondering,
Why did I go there?

Now picking up this notebook,
As I sit back down again,
I know what I was looking for,
I don’t have a pen!

How can I remember well
Those old days at school,
And forget what I’m doing now,
Which seems to be the rule.

I’ll bet it’s that new medication,
The Doctor said to take.
I’ll give him a piece of my mind.
What’s his name for Pete’s sake?
