Am I getting old?
I confuse the words in my speech,
I have always ‘gabbled’ but now,
Even I can’t understand some words
That I try to form.
Am I getting senile?
Sometimes the words that I had,
In my once proud vocabulary
I cannot seem to recall quickly enough,
To try and say aloud.
Am I getting past it?
The words eventually come to my mind
But make no sense, as the conversation
Has moved on past the subject for
Which they were meant.
Am I getting worried?
I try not to be, but the nagging doubt
Forms in my mind, and the only way
That I can seem to express it,
Is on this page!

No, Andy, I think it's quite normal as you age not to have the same recall, etc. i can see how you would be worried though.......Christina
Very true Christina, this was just something I wrote but not worried about, more annoyed if I cannot remember somebodies name but that is life and I accept that.
