Senior Moments

Whilst sorting my laundry I felt a bit peckish
I made me a sandwich and ate it with relish
But how did my underpants get in the fridge?
Are trolls attacking from under their bridge?
Things became clearer when at last I saw
A tin of spam sat in my underpants draw

Says a note on my door, ‘Phone, wallet and keys!’
But then I don’t read it, and forget these
At six-fifteen I awake with a yawn
In my chair, but is it evening or dawn?

I lost my glasses that were on my head
All night, after reading a novel in bed
And that strange occasion that first bothered me
When wanting milk, I put coke in my tea

I was quite worried that my brain was undone
But then senior moments can sometimes be fun
When boating there’s something that I came to know
If your engine breaks down, just go with the flow.

I've noticed a few "worrying" senior moment memories.
Makes me wonder if I can trust any thing that I have in the old forgettery.

1.
I have a very clear, indeed vivid, recollection of the night the Berlin
Wall "came down". I was moved to tears by the reporting of (I groove)
Brian Hanrahan, as I sat in my home in Barnoldswick. The sense of having
the threat of instant global annihilation, that had existed since my
birth in 1953, lifted was very intense.
Problem is I didn't move to that house in Barlik until Oct 1990. Almost
a year after the wall had come down.

2.
I have similar very clear memories of driving through Dunblane on the
journey from home (Falkirk) to Inverness for a holiday and pointing out
to the wife and kids the primary school where the shootings happened.
Problem is The shootings took place on 13 March 1996. Some 6 years after
the end of that marriage and my moving south to England in Oct 1990.

3.
there are others!

Have there been rips in the time/space continuum or am I just going
insane. Either way I no longer feel confident of any thing I unforget.

It causes me a great deal of regret and remorse
that so many people are unable to understand what I write.

I do not normally remember anything of my dreams.

However last night I dreamt a dream that I do remember, vividly.

I dreamt that I was starting at university, strangely like my old
University, but not. I had brought my cat with me and as I moved into
my room in hall, he(!) promptly gave birth to a kitten. I could feel
it newly born, warm, wet and mewing. I spent the evening running round
the campus frantically looking for a litter tray and cat litter.

When I do remember that I have had a dream it is nowhere near as
coherent a memory as this dream.

I have not had a cat since 1999 and am no longer looking for cat litter
( I hope; I went up in 1967 and am no longer living on a campus.

It looks like your Memory Allocation Table has become cross-linked.
Cross-linked memories are created when the brain is improperly shut
down or a thought abnormally aborts.

Being rebooted seldom helps, and often makes things even worse.

Oct 1990 I think was the announcement of reunification.

So there would have been a lot of news footage of 'this time last year
that wall was still up - now they're shaking hands on a merger' etc. -
could account for that

There must come a senior moment when you think that you are 62, and that
nice Mr Chamberlain is Prime Minister.
