As We Become Forgetful...

Eichhörnchen · 04-17-18, 12:45 PM

Now, with the increased frequency for some of us of the "Senior Moment", what's the one thing you remember forgetting (if you see what I mean) which caused you the most trouble or embarrassment?

I'm only middle age so I can not comment.

I've forgotten more than you'll ever know!

The problem is that I really have forgotten more than...

The older I get the more I forget...

Or so they tell me.

I've heard said as you get older the mind is the second thing to go. Don't bother asking me what the first is 'cause I can't remember.

Oh btw, welcome to Subsim Eichhörnchen.

Can't remember a situation where I had become forgetful and ending in trouble or embarrassment?

Of course even I have now and then forgot to zip my trousers.
This is not what I fear most.
What I fear most is the day, when I due to problems with my short time memory, forget to unzip my trousers when I have to water my toilet.

My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke

To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke

For when I'm "here" I'm wondering
If I really should be "there"

And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!

Often times I walk into a room,
Say "what am I here for?"

I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!

The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,
Say "Hi" and have a chat,

Then, when the person walks away
I think, "now who was that?"

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,

And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.
