Brief introduction of the elderly mind.
Something We All Need to Know

Bet you you didn't know
That ancient person you see
Their brains are stuffed with knowledge
Much more than you and me

They may have memory problems
Their brains are just too full
You can be selective when
You've lived so long in this world

The reason for forgetting
There is no more room within
Something must be shed
So more can be let in

You'll find when you grow old
To throw the garbage out
Keep only those precious ones
Or you will scream and shout

You can't carry old garbage forever
Some must be let go
New knowledge for a new time
Will help your brain to grow
