(To the strains of "Benedictus" – The Maestro & The European Pop Orchestra)
Learning and Memory
slip into a bar
sip vodka and sodas
served in a bell jar.
What good does it do
Old Mem asks his friend
if you do the work
and I lose it again?
Good point you are making
Lear says in response
there's many a time
I quit thinking too hard.
I enjoyed so much reading
over the years
but most of it's gone
it just disappeared.
Mem thought awhile
live the moment!
he notes
watch out for angels
don't fret what you know.
Let's think about that
Lear gathering reasons
might you store it away
for good use next season?
When you are learning
about someone new
do you be a good friend
or forget what you knew?
Dear Mem thought awhile
and looked out the door
then whispered so softly
I need a new store.
Couple of guys in the dark
sharing reasons
DNA bleeding
for so many seasons
Flashing lights
in front of the bar
a couple of stretchers
no reporters so far.
