What Is Memory Worth?

Dedicated to the $32 Grand Honda Accord ... of course!

I went to town the other day
To buy a loaf of bread,
And when I came back out again
I searched all through my head.

“Where is that car hiding now?
“Ah yes, I can regain,
“I think I came here from the left”
And then it hit me plain.

I was parked way over there
Down the Y row sure,
So down I trod to find my car
But my memory was a blur.

Then when hope was surely gone
I couldn’t find that Bug,
It was behind some eighteen wheels
Like a well lost bolt or lug.

There’s got to be a better way
My memory to reset,
Now a car worth 32 grand
I’d remember or regret!!

“Do you have 32 grand Buick today
“To help this women out?
“If you did I’ll promise you
”My memory would have a turn-a-bout”.

Can I pay you back? you say
No doubt your wondering how,
You’ll get paid like medical bills
Ten bucks a month is all I can allow.

“Hello….are you still there???
“Hello, Hello”.

No new car for this ol’ gal
And it is for the best,
Cause it would hurt so much more
Being tremendously depressed.

“Oh, there it is”. (How did it get there?)

"One day I heard Bill Cosby say that one way to tell your getting old is when you come out of the store and can't recall where you parked the car. From that time on I have had a real problem with it. It's not funny, but it is when I write about it. I hope you enjoyed it. I laugh at it, that is the only way to deal with some things”.

Afraid it ain't only the older folks here that have that trouble - I'm not 30 yet and I make a habit of forgetting where I've parked. Smiles!
