Memory loss

An elderly poet was forgetting how to rhyme,

And  the names of people he had known a long time.

A man came towards him which he knew quite well,

But the name of this man didn't ring a bell.

He stretched out his hand to greet his friend,

And crashed into the mirror,that was the end.

 

Another memory loss,forgot to mention

 

The guy who invented the door-knocker got a pleasant surprise,

When he found out he was to be presented with  the no-bell prize.

Ha! This rang a bell with me. My older brother recently described how, on a day here in London, he stopped to
avoid an old chap with a stick who appeared in front of him,
only to realise it was his own unexpected reflection.
