Am I going rusty?
What should I do?
My cells are useless
I have no clue

Trapped in a cranium
Decreased gray matter
Quick fix of Valium
That doesn't matter

Not even coffee
Gets my work done
I'm a lump of dough
That helps no one

When neurons wane
Signals are slow
I'm like a cellphone
With a battery low

I'm losing thoughts
Brainchildren gone
Cerebral cortex
Cerebrates none
