attention span

oh that's a very nice name
betcha everyone says the same
you know I come here every day
to listen to what the people say

now that one right over there
not standing but in the chair
she's been coming here for years
face all taut from ear to ear

she was married to someone once
a man with some inheritance
oh what was his name anyway
Charles I think but just can't say

the TV says it's cold outside
my nephew's taking me for a ride
did you know his mother June
my sister was the family loon

anyway so what is your name
didn't catch from where you came
oh that's a very nice name
betcha everyone says the same

I hope they don't serve fish again
eating fish is such a pain
I found a bone last time stuck
between those thingy's on my fork

see this robe I'm wearing now
do you like it? me too, and how
my spouse gave it to me years ago
some Christmas past is all I know

well it's been a nice get together
you must come back in warmer weather
I'm sorry I've forgotten your name
but I enjoyed talking just the same

take me just the way I am
I have a short attention span
like butterfly flit flower to flower
diverting second to minute to hour

Hi, agoodguy2have,
Although I want the body, mind and life to go all at the same time (and not anytime soon!), I marvel at the delight of your poem's attention span.

I have an aunt by marriage who is like this. It's almost like she has ADD. "They say I have A.D.D, but they just don't understand. Oh Look! A chicken!" laugh May we all age gracefully, mind, body and soul. wine
