Erratum Domini

ERRATUM DOMINI There must have been some terrible mistake! A fault in records or in time continuum Check my birth cert. for a counterfeit or fake! They got wrong the name or date at very minimum True I recall sleep in Morrison shelter for a duration Ration books, powdered eggs and friend: ‘Al’ the young GI But perhaps that was in a previous incarnation To account for so much time passing by Told my mental age and acts are immature Though the body has moved on a way ahead My taste in music ends round 1994 And I like retiring early to my bed But I’ve so much still to learn and yet to do I’m not ready to tell the grim reaper: “welcome here!” So it must be a non-fatal misconstrue That I’m rapidly approaching my umptieth year
