What Failing Memory?

Goldfinch60



Am I getting old?

Is my memory lapsing?

My kids keep laughing at me,

Laughing at me

At what they think

Is my failing memory.

But I know they won’t be laughing soon,

Won’t be laughing at Christmas

When the are no chocolate eggs,

No chocolate eggs under the bonfire!

      I saw comedy film. Two men joined the Foreign Legion. But they forgot what they had come there to forget!

      Get the humour, Andy - but if there's any soupcon of truth in that, then there would be a soupcon of paranoia as well. Wot - the only reason they pay for lunch is because they believe you wouldn't be able to remember to pay?
