Forgot

There’s something that I meant to do And I just plumb forgot. I wish this were a rarity But sadly, it is not. My brain can’t cling to any thought Unless I stop to write it And so I jot down notes because It doesn’t pay to fight it. But yesterday my memo failed ‘Cause I forgot to read it. I’d stuck it in my bag despite The fact that I would need it. I came across it later on, Too late for my intention. It wasn’t that important but Still worthy of a mention. For likely, this will reoccur More often, I would bet Since getting older means There’ll be much more I will forget.
