Notes About The Poem

There always seems to be something I forgot to take with me before going out, my keys and wallet are tops of my list (lol). Example for my contest.

Something

Something I always think about 
Mostly, when I am going out 
I think to myself- check the list 
There might be something that I missed  
Brush my hair, my teeth...oh geez! 
Tissue paper- by chance, I sneeze 
If I leave...and do not come back 
For sure, I'd be...all out of whack

Thanks for this one, Charles. I know that feeling. I tend to travel with a lot of stuff. I always have to check, check, recheck to make sure it's all together.

Haha, a unique take on the song. If you're like me, you always forget one thing, no matter how hard you try.
