No Excuses, Baby!

No, Baby, I’m not givin’ you excuses!
I’m truly sufferin’ from presbycusis!
That memory fails me time an’ again;
Can’t remember my chores and then
I get on to doin’ somethin’ else
And before you know it I forgot
Again what I was supposed to do!
Now, don’t tell me you’re through!
I’ll be good.  Just you wait and see.
(Hold on a minute.  Got to take a pee)
As I was sayin’, I’m gonna be good;
Take my walk ’round the neighborhood
And write a poem or two  . . . or three.
Yeah, once more, I got to take a pee,
But you got to know that I’ll be here;
Have no fear (maybe you just need a beer).
Well, enough of this jabberin’; gotta go.
Things to write and music to hear.
Relax!  All’s well!  Have no fear.
