A List of Things To Forget
A List Of Things To Forget
If it is the sole purpose of the mind to define
The mind as such, simply a connecting organ
To keep order in all there is, all the time
Let’s get going with a list of everything there is
Starting from A to Z…. There….Done…That was simple
I can’t remember to forget or forget to remember everything
But there are trees and fish and living things for the list
Crystals, pistols, rocks and not so living items to add
I can’t forget God or there’s no eternity for me
So He goes on
And forget about the devil
He follows everywhere with lists of everything demonic
Mountains and pins go on the list
Both are easy to remove if need be
And I can always add them later
I almost forgot about math
I’ll need it to count stars and planets if it comes to that
The most important things on the list today;
Milk and eggs and bread
If I forget the eggs
My wife will beat my ass instead of them
So, *Not on the list of things to forget
They stay on and on the tip of memory
Even if it takes more energy
