OverKill

I was born before
drugs were for fun,
brain's not been fried
'til overdone.
Of alcohol
I take no taste.
A mind's too valuable
to waste.

Then why do thoughts
begin to scramble
and memories often
fade or ramble?
Have the years brought on
this over-spill
and a brand new thought
is over-kill?

A few short steps from
the dreaded "A"?
It's best I write
my poem today!

Joyce 2/5/08

Joyce Johnson,

This worked for me hon, until I got to the "A" part.  I'm a little thick that way.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, my dear, dear, 'Joy'-ce, every time I forget something I think of that dreaded disease "Alzheimer's".

The fact that you can pen such a witty write is a good indication to me that you need not concern yourself with the "A" word.

Love to you, Bright One!

Linda

Joyce Johnson,

Ah, Earth Angel clued me in.

Like she says, you don't have a thing to worry about.  So don't worry about it already.

Enjoyed reading this...along with things not to do, like drinking and drugs I believe its important to do positive things like eating less red fatty meats, eating lots of fruit and vegetables, and taking herbs for mental alertness such as "Ginkgo Biloba"...James
