Best Forgetful Poems


The Forgetful Man
O, what a forgetful man!

He forgot the wallet
in the car.

He forgot the car keys
in the restaurant.

He forgot to pay for a meal
in the restaurant.

He forgot the name
of the restaurant he went to.

He forgot where he parked
his car.

He forgot his driving license
at his house.

He forgot his...

Premium Member Forgetful Aunt
Though Aunt was a senior citizen

She liked hanging out with younger men.

Ole maid dated a lot,

Guys’ nicknames she forgot;

And choked on desserts using her pen.

A Forgetful Hat
A morning it was shining red,
And mister president's black hat,
Was siting on his solemn hair,
As it was not at all aware,
That it's a hat of a fat rat.

By using crown to form its speech,
»Good morning!« Said the hat to each,
Of man that passed its rat...

Forgetful
Without paper and pen
Thoughts through my head
Like raindrops falling
Never to be seen again

Forgetful Memories
A cold dark past
A Chill chilled Dawn
An empty vessel full of bitterness
A lonely heart that can't fill up!

Such Is Life,  Is it? 
So,  what can be done ahead? 
What is it really to be filled?
An empty space,  a broken piece! 

A great...

Forgetful
I lost my mind one foggy day, quite some time ago
checked with local K-Mart store, they sadly told me no
Sears said no one turned it in, Target said the same
Burger King, McDonalds too, both said they weren't to blame

Checked with Walmart, Dollar Store, Kroger's every...

Woe Betide The Forgetful…
Though the body be weary and tired,
the soul burns with everlasting energy.
To where we have come,
much farther remains to go.

The Moses exodus;
Noah’s unchartered course;
pale the journey ahead.

Crisscrossing Middle Passage streams
put Bermuda Triangle to shame.
To hell and back carries much pain.

In the crosswinds...

Forgetful Moments....
Forgetful are those moments
which have passed by
and if I don't forget them
I shall surely cry

The moments which didn't last a few seconds
but do have a great importance
it surely occurred amidst my friends
but neither of them could ever sense

The moments which I knew
The moments which she...

Forgetful
Can you see my keys?
I can’t remember where they are,
See I really need to find them
Or I can’t get in the car.
Every time I walk in a room
It’s all very hazy
My remember is broke
And it’s driving me crazy.
Have you seen my glasses?
I’m sure I put...

Wonder Woman
What happened to the me I knew
back in the bloom of girlish youth 
I wonder where the years have gone
when I still feel just twenty one.

My hair's now fifty shades of grey 
was a brunette back in the day
Wonder where these wrinkles come from...

he lived in a group home in Corning
he went to a room without warning
	“You’re in the wrong bed!”
	“Don’t worry,” he said,
“I won’t remember in the morning.”...
