Dan Kearley Poet Rhyme

Forget-Forgot-Forgotten

There are so many things in my life
That just seem to get forgot
My brain is a dampend sponge
Stuffed in my head that has begun to rot

I can't remember Sh#t!
In my simple life from day to day
I can't blame any of it on God
For it's my own fault that I am now this way

Younger days of partying
Along with the medication that I'm now on today
Keep wiping my memory slate clean
Causing all memories to quickly fade away

Forget,forgot,forgotten...
Those three words to me are all the same
Sitting in a tub full of missing memories
With a rotting sponge that is clogging the drain
