Amid my ever shrinking attention span
I’ve got to concentrate
At least while I can
Because I may not be lucid come morning
Please God keep me thinking clear one more day
Because I can hear growing voices say
As my senses grow dimmer…
Hush now baby don’t you cry
We’re going to song you a lullabye
That will slowly turn your mind into mush
Life beats down those who choose
To close their eyes and then take a snooze
It’s game over when your mind turns to mush…
Life’s a finite game plan with a one minute warning
When the last call comes the shriek is alarming
I heard the plate crack as it ran away with the spoon
While my mind is still nimble
It’s no longer quick
And it’s years since I’ve cleared that candlestick
But I can still get lost in it’s glow…
Humpy Dumpty’s fallen and I’m all alone
His shell is in pieces and my minds totally blown
How does one put life together again
My cell phone rang and when I took the call
A voice said get Cinderella to the ball
Her fairy godmother’s still sleeping…
Jack and Jill went up that hill
To fetch some water to take their pills
What was it that I was just thinking?
There’s not much anyone can do
When age and vice catch up with you
There’s no such thing as pretty maids in all in a row…
Life is really one hell of a dance
You’ve got to kick up your heels
While you still get a chance or
Ashes to ashes
And we all fall down…
