Fading Brain

FADING BRAIN
I think my brain is going down the drain. My short-term memory is all at sea. This thing they call dementia is a pain; I don’t know why it’s happening to me. Now, ask me what did in sixty-three, And I recall it all as clear as day. But what I did last Sunday I can’t say. A brain transplant is what I really need, But that technology is far away. And, in the meantime, this brain’s gone to seed. 20th March 2020 Delightful Dizains contest Sponsor - Beth Evans

Bryn, I'm with you. I'm aware that I'm just alert enough to be aware how alert I'm NOT. Or something like that, I don't exactly remember, haha! Now if you had a brain transplant would that be someone else living in your body, or you thinking another person's thoughts? Never mind. So what DID you do in sixty-three?

Ah … hoist by my own petard! Let me see .. I'd been married for three years and had a one year old son. Sadly my father died at just 55 and never saw son No. 2. Bought my first house.
