Last Friday of the month is for
Monthly Poetry Group to rhyme.
Diane, Mimi, and I take turns,
"Reboot" is the theme this time.
 
As usual, today I'll try,
a poem to write . . . or fudge.
Whether I'm successful or not,
you get to be the judge.

Reboot


The elderly man was worried,
forgetting things all the time.
Keeping track of belongings,
was a daily mountain to climb.
 
The more he thought about it,
felt his brain needed a reboot.
He'd always had a great memory,
now he felt like an old coot.
 
He'd play his daily word games,
Phrazle, Wordle, more than one.
Keeping his brain exercised,
could actually be quite fun.
 
And since his wife had passed away,
there was more for him to do.
But it kept his mind occupied,
there's value in that too.

On this particular morning,
memory really getting him down,
"I'll do errands, pick up muffins,
might be good to go into town."

Went into a few different stores,
glad to put his troubles aside.
One last store he entered, 
the selection kept him occupied. 

When from behind he heard it,
"Reboot?" someone had asked.
His memory? How could they know?
Wanted to get out of there . . . and fast.

"Reboot?" This time he turned around,
the questioner's eyes to meet.
Realized the salesman was looking,
not at his head, but his feet.
