Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Did I Mention

As I’m getting older, I’ve been told today
That
I keep repeating the things that I say

But I’m not doolally and there is no way
That
I keep repeating the things that I say

My wife plugs her ears up because of the way
That
I keep repeating the things that I say

I checked out the weather it’s cloudy with rain
But 
My best mate said you can say that again 

I told him I know folk think I’m old and grey
And
I keep repeating the things that I say

My wife said please love me for life and a day
And
I said I would, like I love her today 

When I said I love you she told me she’d pray
That
I keep repeating the things that I say 

My mate said take her somewhere nice on the train 
But
I said the weather is cloudy with rain

And that was the moment I learned with dismay 
That
I keep repeating the things that I say
