Absent-Minded

The husband Opened The door And went out He went Down The flight Of stairs On the way He forgot As to what He was out to do He forgot Where he was Headed For… So, he climbed All the stairs Back up to his home And rang the bell Finding him empty-handed His puzzled wife asked: “Has the dairy Run out of milk?”
