OLD MAN’S BLUES
When you’ve difficulty
In holding back your tears
When you’ve difficulty
In hiding your hurt feelings
When you’re easily annoyed
With something trivial
When you’re easily annoyed
With something fantastic
When you’re fixated
Looking backward than forward
When you’re fixated
With what you can’t do than can
When you’re prone to repeat
Your tales again and again
When you’re prone to forget
That you’re repeating yourself
When it’s easier to recall
Ancient events than the present
When it’s easier to recall
Your early years than later life
You’re old but not necessarily senile
Or has Alzheimer’s.
