Aging Braincells
Aging braincells get rewired
And one way I surely know it
Is that I am always tired
And my face and body show it.
Even after hours of sleeping,
If I sit to read a book,
Sometimes drowsiness comes creeping
And it grabs me with a hook.
Or, if slightly after eating,
I relax and watch TV,
I’ll doze off before completing
“Law and Order: SUV.”*
Seems within that tangled webbing
Of our brains, the gears are clicking;
Thus our energy, now ebbing,
Lets us know the clock is ticking.
*It’s really “Law and Order SVU,” but
SUV is how my husband & I refer to it.
