The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 186 Poem by Flying Lemming

I have a new enemy, a sly little soul
And there is a battle for who keeps in control
It’s an ongoing struggle and will always be the same
The creature I am up against is my own brain
Sometimes it will desert me when I’ll in a crowed place
Desperately trying to put a name to a face
Other times it will offer information readily
Unfortunately it tends to be things useless to me
When I need the key-code to get to my friends flat
In my head’s the theme tune to the cartoon ‘Henry’s Cat’
I need to recall directions to get from A to B
The only roads seen in my mind were ones in Italy
It makes me put my keys down in a new place every day
So I waste time hunting where they are before I get away
And if I get the bus while waiting in the queues
It makes me put my ticket in a pocket I never use
So when the driver's waiting and the crowd is in a strop
I have to pull out all my pockets before we leave the stop
I hope to call a ceasefire, have peace before long
Or else it might make me go out without my trousers on
