Absent Minded Poems | Examples


Premium Member 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 gone, I'm left alone
With my absent-minded heart.

I hope, if love should come my way again,
The one who'll win me will be smart,
And in her tender way remind me
To let Cupid's arrow find me
So it can cut the ties that bind me
To an absent-minded heart.

Premium Member 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?”


Premium Member 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 first time old Hank drew a blank!

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
