He sits very still in concentration In his search for the memory within And he lets his mind go wandering free As he looks for the answer to what will be And then he spots it and grasps the thought The only solution, his last resort So finally he looks out of his eyes To see the problem that his brain denies He can now remember how to climb the stairs But chooses instead to sit in one of the chairs The answer has all but flown away The stairs will wait for another day And later with the thought completely gone He no longer remembers there ever was one.
