Some Nerve

Something has struck a nerve with me today

“You certainly have your nerve,” some folks

will scowl and say. But which nerve is it? I

have so many cluttering my composition to

claim. Fortunately, for both you and me, in my

lifetime, the alcohol which I thus far consumed

has intoxicated and summarily flushed a good

deal of my nerves away. And each day as I age,

I am burdened with fewer and fewer of those

dadgum critters which to blame. One which strikes

my waning memory at this particular moment in

time is the one which had been previously assigned

to remember your name.
