Call Back the Past
Report form the DFA 100 years ago.
It was in a commendable spirit of cheerfulness under adversity that members of the Diamond Fields Scottish Association assembled on Friday evening for the annual banquet. There were those who had “their Doots” as to the wisdom of holding a banquet, as many have been victims of retrenchment policies.
(Makes you wonder what has changed!)
If the Cap Fits!!!!
My forgetter’s getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke
For when I’m ‘here’ I’m wondering
If I really should be ‘there’
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven’t got a prayer!
Oft times I walk into a room,
Say ‘what am I here for?’
I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero is my score.
At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!
When shopping I may see someone,
Say ‘Hi’ and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, ‘who the heck was that?
Yes, my forgetter’s getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it’s driving me plumb crazy
And that isn’t any joke.
Yours Aye
Mary
