A Man Of Many Talents

“A Man of Lost Talents” We all have talents Mine the most precious of all Without a doubt It is something I could live without Some would say it’s a surprise Some would say it’s remarkable Some would say it’s incredible Me, thinks, “Fantastic.” My wife says I could do much more If I would quit............things She says I would have more time If I would quit............things Maybe, I could declutter my life If I would quit............things I must say it is indeed A talent that I could live without But what fun would that be? I would love to teach others this talent. I would make a great mentor. There is always someone Willing to pay for a great talent. If I would quit............things I am the “Master” I think it’s genetic Perhaps inherited Maybe bathetic Certainly pathetic. What the hell is bathetic? So where did the tic come from? My mother was of German decent And they never.............anything. But Me, Something is always amiss. I am always happy except When I.............. things My glasses, my billfold, my credit card, My place in a book, my car, and, of course, my keys. And then, There is my mind. I say, Where the hell did it go? She said, I really don’t know. I say, It has to be near. She said, You just forgot What you thought? I said, No! I just thought What I forgot. I asked, What happens when I get Old and gray? She said, It won’t matter, You’re lost anyway. I say, Who took my *&#$%@ pen?
