I Remember....

I remember strawberry flavoured "Pink Panther" candy bars

I remember when 5p bought a "Beano" and a packet of "Extra Strong Mints"

I remember watching "The Diddy Men" on TV

I remember doing my paper-round with the best dog we ever had

I remember the excitement of waking up as a child on Christmas morning

I remember the wooden castle I got one very special year

I remember every detail of the two scariest nightmares I've ever had

I remember the over riding themes of my stress filled dreams

I remember almost nothing of all my other dreams

I remember when talking to people felt natural

I remember my grandfather thinking everything through in his mind before he spoke

I remember the emotion I felt the first few times I watched "Dead Poets' Society"

I remember the horror I experienced the first time I read of Gandalf plunging into the abyss

I remember the names of the seven dwarfs

I remember the names of the characters in "Thunderbirds"

I forget the names of people I meet

I forget what I did yesterday.
