Saw this Skirmish prompt and thought I'd try this approach... seems like it's getting more and more common in my life, lately. The dread senior moment...

Lyrics

Guess I Ain’t That Sharp

It’s happenin’ more, who’s keeping score, seems like every day...
I get a brilliant thought or two, then they go away.
Could be a stage, could be my age, not sure just how to start...
For the life of me, I can’t see, I guess I ain’t that sharp!

Chorus:
I guess I’m living in a brand new phase...
One, that’s not unique to only me.
Seems it could be a brand new craze...
One I don’t embrace with too much glee.

What can I say, it’s not my day, feelin’ kinda dumb...
Staring in the fridge, I say, choices pretty glum.
Came in this room, a thing to do, I knew it would be smart...
But here’s the threat, I forget, I guess I ain’t that sharp!

Chorus:
I guess I’m living in a brand new phase...
One, that’s not unique to only me.
Seems it could be a brand new craze...
One I don’t embrace with too much glee.

It’s happenin’ more, who’s keeping score, seems like every day...
I get a brilliant thought or two, then they go away.
Could be a stage, could be my age, not sure just how to start...
For the life of me, I can’t see, I guess I ain’t that sharp!
For the life of me, I can’t see, I guess I ain’t that sharp!

Wow, this is in original take on the prompt that I hadn't thought of (and I should have, as I'm gettin' up there!). Nicely played and sung. A really good flow to your lyric and how it sits so well in your song melodically. I had to smile as I relate so much to this!
