Our Historian

Please excuse me as I must now shoot off
to clear my thoughts and clarify my mind
I hope you won't think of me as awfully rude
but there are facts to check, memories to find

Memories of heroes, villains, sites once seen
to embellish stories I relate and the tales I tell
The jumbled memories of that memorable day
will then bring me back home all being well

My mind again cleared I will have stories renewed
and although nothing here changes, you all know me
My mind's eye will carry me there and back again
to sit here in my usual chair, when Nurse brings tea​
