A Remember-Er

I am a remember-er of times long ago A forgetter of many things having just happened In addition, I keep thinking that tomorrow is today And yesterday is actually today. Things that happened in my life long past Seem as fresh as right now At times I know that something Having just happened will be forgotten A short time from now. I think to write things down But forget what I was going to write about Why bother though, cannot find paper anyway. Wait! an idea has just popped into my head Record what I want to remember on tape Oh! Rats! now where did I put those batteries? Perhaps its best I just give up Surrender to the inevitable and not worry About remembering today And stick with remembering long ago yesterdays. For that was a much easier, simpler time And today, and tomorrow too Are probably better off forgotten. Ok! that decided! What was it I was trying to remember?
