Memory

Has anyone seen my memory?
I can’t think where it’s gone.
I know I had it with me,
now where did I come from?

What was it that I’ve lost now?
I think that I’ve forgot.
It couldn’t be important,
I lose it quite a lot.

Oh, now I can remember,
I thought that I’d forgot.
It’s my memory that is lacking,
it won’t retain a lot.

It used to be quite healthy,
when I was in my prime.
I never thought, that it may leave,
in some near distant time.

Now I make notes to help me,
so that I remember all.
It’s just where I put these ‘aid memoirs’,
that I cannot recall.

So if you find my memory,
my problem you’ll redress.
Please send it to my residence,
now, ‘what was my address?’
