Kaboom

How many of you have done this? You go into another room To get something really important Suddenly your mind goes KABOOM! In the lightning flash of a instant You haven't a clue why you're there You rack your brain for the answer Just stand there with a vacant stare So back to the room you came from Hoping something will click For sure your mind will recover You start feeling dizzy and sick What if you can never remember? Go to your grave not knowing why You got up to go there for something But your brain feels like it's fried Sometimes it renders man useless Their existence productive no more Dribbling and mumbling “what was it?” This feeling you can't ignore Then as you're ascending to heaven Your life is paraded before you In a flash you scream out, “I've got it!” “I was headed for the loo!” © Jack Ellison 2015

Love the ending to this one, and enjoyed your thoughts. You literally can think up anything for a poem! Quite an amazing skill you've got. One thing is certain, Jack. I will never forget YOU! Always, Laura

I've had several memory losses where I couldn't even remember who I was... much less what I was doing... due to stress and my epilepsy... It's always a void I strive heartily to fill. The longest lasted for 1 1/2 hours. Tho it can take months or years for some things to come back. Made me feel really smart... when all my Algebra finally came back a few years later, but I didn't really need it then... My school tests were long gone. At least it's not getting worse in old age. That's a plus.

That doesn't sound like fun!!! It's not getting any worse but is there a chance of it improving? xxx

lol...I doubt if anything as mundane would ever enter our mind once we're faced with THE ultimate experience, Santa. Loved the quatrains :-)

Methinks MOST people can identify with this! LOL It's part of the ageing process but it can start at any age! - Jack
