Later Syndrome

Later Syndrome
How often do you hear those awful men that we call teachers using the cerebral 
portion to make this statement to someone we once considered friends “you 
have it on the tip of your tongue” and this is the next phrase of 
encouragement “later it will come to you”. The opportunity seldom arrives to be of 
benefit effectual almost aplomb. A bomb exploding causes fright to them 
attacking camp a man remembering this later thing is just as forceful in delivery 
eureka and ah ha and this one sounding like a siren “eye have it” or “eye have 
done it” like a lightbulb going off. Conversation dims and lulls and then makes its 
way back up so slowly then to normal drone and hush my mouth oh my mother’s 
baby it is later now the text is gone the message done the class is over the 
reason for the memory gone. Tell me gentle reader just what good is later 
syndrome?
