Forgetfulness, Who Me

Forgetfulness, Who Me? Sure I can go to lunch next Tuesday; Will you call me and remind? Sure, I'll call you on Monday, We'll firm up the place and time. Oh, it's Wednesday, I forgot to call you, To remind you about yesterday; Are you angry with me, why didn't YOU call, Well can we make it on Friday? No, I'm not mad, I forgot you would call; Let's both remember to call Thursday night. Surely we both won't forget; And all will be just fine and all right. Oh, it's Thursday night, I said I would call; Did you remember lunch Friday? Oops I forgot. I set up lunch with Mary; Let's try again next Monday.

Forgetfulness...It scares me because I do tend to forget a lot... My husband and I try to remind eachother not to forget ..Because we both suffer from this syndrome..Im still 39..But I wonder if dementia will hit me hard one day..I do try to be forgetful about it : ). Loved your poem.It put a smile on my face.

Thank you for your comments. Your love of writing and poetry will probably keep you from suffering more than normal. Everyone forgets sometimes - I forget more when I'm under stress.
