A Passing Thought

A PASSING THOUGHT

When one looks out at the immensity of Space

One feels vulnerable

Unimportant,

Less than nothing.

I am inclined to think

That the Universe is a brain

And I am just a figment

Of its imagination.

VACANT: TO LET

Look, if there's one thing that I've learned

 It's that I am an ignoramus!

It's been an in-tray out-tray life,

Nothing brilliant or famous.

Knowledge has gone in one ear

And then in a very short time

It's flowed away out of the other.

It's been tantamount to a crime!

Consider, first, my schooldays,

Which weren't on the whole too stressful.

I pegged-away at learning things

And often I was successful.

But let us consider algebra!

I coped in a passable way,

But no-one must ask about algebra

If they meet with me today!

The same thing applies to Latin!

I managed to conjugate,

But all the Latin's oozed away,

Completely gone, of late!

Now things are getting worse, I fear!

Of course, nobody blames

Funny old ladies such as me

If they forget peoples' names!

But I try to learn the difference

Between persons A and B

I even think-up mnemonics

Hoping they'll benefit me!

'Mary's got the big ears',

'Alice has got a squint'

I aim for a mental picture

That might give me a hint.

But still the names elude me;

I forget again and again.

Look, if there's one thing that I've learned

It's that I need a brand new brain!
