I dance beneath the rooftop <br />Chuckle at my lost thoughts <br />Remembering years gone by <br />The lessons life has taught <br /> <br />The music takes me back <br />Fifty years or more <br />Without my past memories <br />There’d be nothing to live for <br /> <br />A thought comes to my mind <br />That I can’t imagine now <br />Oh lord but it was fun <br />I wipe my furrowed brow <br /> <br />Must not be so noisy because <br />They’ll come up to see what’s wrong <br />They think I’m weak and frail <br />That I probably won’t last long <br /> <br />But I got news for these people <br />You see, my mind is very sound <br />Wait’ll they find out my millions <br />Will go directly to the pound!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ah-those-memories/
