Brief En-count-er (Poetry)

One, Two —               I’m sure I know you
Three, Four —            We’ve met once before
Five, Six —                My mind’s playing tricks
Seven, Eight —          If you’d only wait
Nine, Ten —               I might recall when.

Ten, Nine —               Just give me some time
Eight, Seven —          Two thousand ‘n’ eleven
Six, Five —                At our local whist drive
Four, Three —            You don’t recognise me?
Two, One —               Better put your specs on!
