I Forgot To Remember What I Forgot

I FORGOT TO REMEMBER WHAT I FORGOT by JOHN M. ARRIBAS I Forgot to Remember, That When You Talk Trash You Will Soon Be Reminded, a Lacking of Panache Slowly but Surely There’s a Lesson You Will Learn Poking a Dragon That You Thought of as a Worm When Cornered and the Only Option Is a Lie For the Immediate Future, it Will Get You by Folks Will No Longer Take You at Your Word Hard to Remember an Event That Never Occurred Filling out an Important Employment Application Fudging Experiences Without a Single Hesitation Will Surely Lead to Humiliation and Frustration Exit Sign above the Door Your Final Destination Inflating Income to Get a Mortgage for a Home Every N Each Month You must Repay the Loan Don’t Wake Some Morning with a Van at Your Door Furnishings on the Lawn a Neighborhood Eyesore Etcetera, Etcetera There’s So Much More Its All about Lying, Avoiding, Eluding the Truth Nine Times out of Ten it Will Surely Cook Your Goose
