An Aging Poet

For poetry, I'll need to see
Let the battle of switches begin
From the wall switch to the light
"Which one is it?" never ends!

An aging poet, past my prime
My memory now is not acute
In truth it has been in decline
Ever since I popped the chute!

What's next, will I forget my pants?
So many lapses, cause me to fret
A date, a word,a meal, a hat
Who knows what next, I might..........?

There would have to be something definitely wrong with me if that ever happened. Brain damage or something!...........80)

I now often go into a room and then forget why! (At least I don't leave my car keys in my refrigerator - yet!)
