Because there are certain instances
when I find myself opening things
and I begin to wonder
when I start reaching for the
cabinet door instead of the refrigerator
or I find myself reaching for the coffee
instead of reaching for the sugar
And sometimes I walk into a room
and I ask myself
what did I go in there for
And it is instances like those
that I want to kick my butt
and knock myself onto the floor
Yet it doesn't happen all of the time
But when it does happen I ask myself
When I do get a lot older
than I am right now
will I become more forgetful
And the truth is, only one can ponder
But that shouldn't really matter
Because I will continue to wake up every day
for as long as I can and try my very
best to start each and every day with laughter
