Forgetful
I lost my mind one foggy day, quite some time ago
checked with local K-Mart store, they sadly told me no
Sears said no one turned it in, Target said the same
Burger King, McDonalds too, both said they weren't to blame
Checked with Walmart, Dollar Store, Kroger's every aisle
Even checked the "Up-Scale" stores, they all were in denial
Didn't stop, the weeks went by, the list was getting long
Wendy's, Domino's, KFC, from each the same old song
Stopped to get a coffee at a Dunkin Doughnut's shop
They smiled and cheered when I walked in, "hey look what you forgot!"
"You left it on the counter, about a month ago
we knew you'd come back in for it, you never fail to show"
I sighed relief and thanked them as I looked into the bag
getting disappointed now, this really is a drag
Nothing there but coffee, I was starting to get sore
It bothered me, I didn't know, what I went in there for.....
