Elderly confusion poem

Filed Under humor

Hair thinning, hanging and falling
I think I’ve forgotten my name
Slowly but surely I’m falling
Down a spiraling drain

I tried to hold on to my sanity
Now they say I’m insane
I used to have such vanity
Not down a spiraling drain

I can remember 50 years ago
The falling in love, the pain
Now I can’t go out solo
I’m in a spiraling drain

What did I have for lunch today?
Was it pie and mash again?
Where am I going, what can I say
I’m in a spiraling drain

It’s 1950 in my head
I’ve tried to remember in vain
They say I’ve got to go to bed
I hate this spiraling drain

What did I do that was so bad?
I’ll never do it again
My life has now become so sad
Sinking in a spiraling drain
