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
