Analysis of I Need to Jog My Memory
I need to jog out of the fog
That fills my mind today.
The exercise will be a prize
When thoughts won't go my way!
My foggy mind is of the kind
Distractions love to see,
Since I am sure there is no cure
Unless it's heavenly!
My cloudlike days seem in a haze,
A "lighthouse" I could use
On any day I am this way
Which I would never choose!
