Absent-minded Heart

Every time I fall in love,
It seems I'm through before I start.
What's wrong with me's no mystery,
I have an absent-minded heart.

I meet a girl, she seems ideal,
But when Cupid shoots his dart,
I tend to duck and dodge so it can't lodge
In my absent-minded heart.

Before too long the girl moves on,
Another romance falls apart.
And when she's

Absent-Minded

The husband
Opened
The door
And went out

He went
Down
The flight
Of stairs

On the way
He forgot
As to what
He was out to do

He forgot
Where he was 
Headed 
For…

So, he climbed
All the stairs 
Back up to his home
And rang the bell

Finding him empty-handed
His puzzled wife asked:
“Has the dairy 
Run out of milk?”

Craziest Time Under the Bottle

Scene beneath is utterly true
   Veracious (ridiculous) account
   Told by me from baby eye view,  
    - Utterances she was without 


Eighth day in the cold bright realm, hungry again 
               Feeds feature

Blonde - Absent Minded Or Fair

BLONDE – ABSENT MINDED OR FAIR?

CLIENT
Goodness, gracious me,
Come over here and see,
How did you dare,
You have no flair,
My hair now’s dark,
It should be fair,
You’ve cut too much,
Let go don’t clutch,
I asked for just a trim,
You said your name is Kim?
Kim, you’ve made a mess,
I must confess.
I wanted fair and long,
Hello –ding dong!,
Can’t you even hear,
My

Absent-Minded Hank

Thar was once an old buckaroo named Hank,
  
   Who was very absent-minded and lank.

      He told his hoss to skedaddle,

         Fergittin' to mount the saddle.

            'Twas not

The Absent Minded Octogenarian

An octogenarian visited his doctor
'I think I'm getting senile” he said
The doctor replied “I don’t think you are senile
Let’s look for a different diagnosis instead”
“But I keep forgetting to do up my fly”
The old man said “After I’ve been for a pee”
The doctor smiled and then replied
“Not opening your fly before you start, that’s senility”

Absent Minded Mantis

I can't remember
Where did I leave my car keys?
Please don't drink and drive

Absent-Minded Guy

The overhasty mind gets cluttered
often losing concentration,
not doing chores or things 
rationally, but overloading
itself with unneccesary thinking;
it happens to me sometime,
leaving the car key inside the ignation!
Imagine my grumpy mood...
I get very skittish and to get that out,
it'll take a sleight of hand!


Once I made a delicious 
barbacue chicken,
and left it on the grill
on low
