Sticky Notes

As your memory begins to slow 
You write little notes to yourself
Don’t forget to pick up the laundry
And thaw out a meal for tonight.

I know I wrote a reminder
On that little yellow note pad
I stuck it in a special place
And now it’s missing, oh egad!

So the laundry is still waiting
Tonight’s dinner is still freezing
I think depending on these notes
Needs some serious rethinking.
