Gone- and Forgotten

I had a poetic idea last night when I went to bed
But during the night that sucker just up and fled

They say with age comes wisdom not there in youth
But  I cant remember anything, that's the sad truth

I have been advised to always keep a pad and pen handy
If I could read my hen scratches that would be just dandy

Its a small miracle that I get any poems written at all
My poor old brain does seems in a permanent stall

I was thinking of starting a support group of some kind
Interested? Call now, before the idea is gone from my mind...

Really cute Barbara and it does happen. Sometimes an ordinary word that I want for my poem just eludes me. Thank you for my fourth place in your contest. Love, Joyce
