Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
I can’t always remember what I said
So maybe these may be words you’ve already read
But once I get a line in my head
I can’t always remember what I’ve just said
I like to try and entertain with my humour
Brits have no talent – well that’s just a rumour
But once I get a poem in my head
I can’t always remember what I’ve just read
Have I told you this line before
I may be repeating – sorry I’m a bore
But once I get a thought in my head
I can’t always remember what I’ve just said
My dear old mum she has dementia*
She’s repeats herself or loses her dentures
Sadly once she gets a thought in her head
She can’t remember what she’s just said.

*Mum's dementia/memory issues aren't too bad at the moment this bit is poetic licence, but sadly over time she is getting worse
