Actions Speak Louder Than Words
A quiet teenager named Tina
Had bullies use words to demean her
But my memory lingers
cos she stuck up two fingers
then pushed them into the marina!

Going Dotty
My elderly auntie named Dot
her memory’s going to pot
For she served me raw food
and was totally nude
A dinner I’ve never forgot

Golf Day This Dad
You drove the ball high
It flew and touched the sky
I heard, “FORE!"
And ducked therefore
But the ball hit my thigh
Some of the things mom never knew happened;-)

Vitamin B-12
Started taking Vitamin B-12 for my memory
Reminding me of the B-29, a question for Jeopardy
A bomber during history's dark time
World War II, a disgusting crime
We must all be sure so as not repeat this treachery

A Rambunctious Teen
It's the year two thousand and sixteen
Many years since I was a rambunctious teen
With slicked down hair
It was devil may care
Surrounded by young fillies so peachy keen

My Valentine
Remember, my sweet Valentine,
the moment you said you'd be mine.
A rug by the fire,
we shared our desire
and pledged that our hearts should entwine.

For Poet Destroyer's Valentine Competition.

Stealing Home
A memory I'll NEVER forget, by crikey
Jackie stealing home, my hero almighty
Eleven at the time
Baseball's ultimate crime
Forever and always etched in my psyche
(With the old Montreal Royals of the International League in 1946)

A Little Old Lady Named Kate
A little old lady named Kate
whose memory wasn’t so great
was pinched on the rear
by a man with a lear
said she sir, are we on a date?

Jackie Robinson
Growing up in Montreal, there were many great stars
Loud cheers for the Royals were heard from the local bars
The greatest of them all
Jackie Robinson stood tall
Jackie's memory remains always in our hearts

Raul Mondesi, Jr
Raul Mondesi is back from wherever he’d been hid
Storming into the Big Leagues and making another bid
But he played over a decade ago
Guess for me time hasn’t gone slow
And the rising star this year is Mondesi’s kid

Acme To the Rescue
I fondly remember Road Runner cartoons
That amused us until weekend afternoons
Wile Egot just desserts
On that barren desert
But I wished Acme mailed him Kevlar balloons

What evil lurks in the hearts of men, “Only The Shadow Knows”
An introduction to an old radio thriller, scared me down to my toes
But had to stay tuned
The bad guys harpooned

Do You Remember Where You Fell In Love
Took heaven to help me to see
That with her I wanted to be
I first felt love’s glow
And this I still know
We kissed under coconut tree

Lost One Limerick
Will write a Limerick I think
Sought out some paper pen and ink
By the time I did this
My words had gone amiss
Guess memory is on the blink

I Know I Possibly Wrote It
There once was a memory man
Who remembered all that he can
So he wrote in a book
Which was gone when he looked
Now he's doubting his memory span

God Or Dog
I don’t understand the world, or what it is giving
Should I open my eyes and be there and then living?
I asked my dog and as memory recalls
He kept gently but thoroughly licking his balls

A Howling Session
I fondly remember a lady named Karen
Each morning at 7:00 we had a howling session
Much silliness galore
Whatever was in store
I remember those days with great affection

It's time to celebrate a New Year
with an old tradition and much cheer,
so while the ball is dropping
the champagne will be popping...

No Better Than a Cow
I'm on a big roll, so don't stop me now
My best stuff can be seen just over the next brow
Sometimes lose it quite quick
Writing it down is the trick
My memory stinks, it's no better than a cow
