David Smith Poet Didactic

The Curse I Live With

If someone tells me stuff I would rather not know about, 
I can not unknow what it is about,
Others seem to have no trouble forgetting what it is about,
And denying any knowledge about,
With not even a passing thought about,
What to do about what they should not know about,
And would rather not know about. 

That leaves people cursed like me looking to see if there is a whistle about,
That can be blown when nobody else is about.

Jan Allison July 24, 2023 at 5:03 PM yeah what do you do when you cant forget something you were told. what a quandary to be in. I'm just reading about a consultant here who was a whistleblower in his old hospital, sad on so many levels, as he has just left the hospital here he is an amazing man - been incredible with my hubby and his cancer treatment. hugs jan xx David Smith July 25, 2023 at 1:07 AM Thank you Jan.
