Things

I just sat down with a coffee & a scone, Trying to remember things that have gone. The first thing, where it came from I don't know, The second must have been a lie and had to go. The third remained on the tip of my tongue. The forth has stayed hidden far too long. The fifth was a memory I could not contain, That's why it's no longer in my brain. So there you have it, now I am sure, If I thought about it there must be lots more, So I'll sit down with my coffee and my scone, Until I remember how many more things have gone. © Dave Timperley, 12/06/2018
