| A short poem on the speculation that Iraq is developing weapons of mass destruction Saddam�s Got�em �2002 The Limerick Savant |
| The Forgotten Line I fear that I'm getting Alzheimer�s This happens to many old-timers I get overwrought When I lose a thought So I fear I'm getting Alzheimer�s I'm not really one of those whiners But I think that my mind Can be often unkind Like it is when you�ve got Alzheimer�s |
| It happens to all the old-timers, I�ll have something to say But then it gets away |
| Could it be that I have Alzheimer�s When I act like one of those mimers As I try to display What my words cannot say? |
| I find that I need more reminders When I make out a list Something always gets missed |
| You get so confused with Alzheimer�s You can�t tell the majors from minors Or you�ll be in your car And not know where you are So how can you cope with Alzheimer�s? |
| And that�s how it is with Alzheimer�s Many people think they�re two-timers It�s just they get harried And forget they�re married |
| We all can develop Alzheimer�s Be we homeless or social climbers When it has your number You�ll get dumb and dumber Because you are getting Alzheimer�s |
| I�ve forgotten all my one-liners And I�ll lose a punch line Like a fish off the line |
| As memory cedes to Alzheimer�s I won�t be one of those piners For soon all my fear Will just disappear And� What was I going to say? |
| If I�m coming down with Alzheimer�s Am I one of the nickel & dimers That will, bit by bit, Lose all of their wit? |
| I worry I�m getting Alzheimer�s Just like one of them there old-timers I fear my gray matter Is starting to scatter |
| So I think I have the Alzheimer�s Like so many other old-timers When my thoughts go unsung On the tip of my tongue |
| There�s proof I�m getting Alzheimer�s Because unlike the other diners I�ve forgotten your name See, my memory�s gone lame And I know it�s due to Alzheimer�s |
| Now convinced that I�ve got Alzheimer�s I find I�ve begun setting timers To remind me just when To set timers again |
| It happens when we are old-timers Our thoughts miss their train As they leave the brain |
| It can even happen to rhymers It will come to the time When I search for a rhyme And I�ll know that I have Alzheimer�s |
