Alzheimer

Losing track in life, a game

First my fame

And then my name

My memory to blame

I have become lame.

They call it Alzheimer

My wife, I can’t remember

In my memory, I constantly err.

Can’t complete my task

Reason you know, don’t ask.

Not a glory to bask.

I forget to count

Of my expenses can’t keep account.

My woes, increasingly mount. 

My brain has shrunk

It is like I have over drunk

In the test of life, I have flunk.

I understand there is no cure

No medicines to procure

In death I can feel secure.
