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.
