My Funniest Experience

My Funniest Experience

I can't remember, I smoked too much pot.
I was busy being mellow and the rest I just forgot.
The funniest thing that I guess that I can say.
Is that I can barely remember the first part of today.

When 30 years pass and you're melancholy.
You don't remember things that seem very jolly.
So I guess that would be the funniest of all.
That when it comes to memory, I just don't recall.

Let me see if I can find deep in my mind.
A tale of woe that we all know when we get in a bind.
I had a dog, Barney the Beagle.
Just a nice dog, no need to be regal.

The pastor came to call on Dad.
And as he was talking, Pastor must have looked sad.
Because Barney decided to go and hump his arm.
Yeah, good ole Barney, he wasn't known for his charm.

I am writing my life down in poetry for my children to read later as none of them read any of this stuff now. "That when it comes to memory, I just don't recall. "- my biggest fear!

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of that story about Barney. As you know, I just told you in that email. :) lol
