As heard at the last Mudcat Zoom meeting: There's no lesson I'm capable of learning, 'Cos my mind's on the blink I always hope that my memory's returning, But I'm too old, I think. When I go to the kitchen I look round in fear, Am I here to get coffee or beer? I look around for clues but there's nothing I can find, I'm searching for the last thing on my mind. As I drive in my car in the morning, Where to go? I just don't know. A suspicion is gradually forming, That my mind's working slow. Was I going to the station, or was it the bank? Oh, why has the last hour gone blank? I try to remember, but it's hopeless, I find. I can't recall the last thing on my mind. I had reasons a-plenty for going, What they were I just can't say. Now my panic is rapidly growing, I've been in Tesco's all day. Did I come to buy sugar, is it cabbage I need? Was it Oxos or budgerigar seed? I did make out a list, but I've left it behind. Whatever was the last thing on my mind? I know the capital of Texas is Austin, I know Morocco's is Rabat, I can name Southampton's winning FA cup team, Just how sad is that? But don't ask me to tell you what I did yesterday, For my memory has drawn down the blind, I used to get upset, now I'm becoming resigned To searching for the last thing on my mind.
