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.\u00a0 Just you wait and see.
(Hold on a minute.\u00a0 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\u00a0 . . . 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!\u00a0 All’s well!\u00a0 Have no fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
