It is said that the mind
Is a terrible thing to waste.
I do indeed believe it true.
That is why by God's grace,
I thrive to maintain 'peace of mind',
Never giving others 'A piece of my mind'.
However, sometimes I allow other things to
Happen inside of this guarded mind of mine.
Sometimes, 'forgetting' gets the best of me;
Like writing a letter and forgetting to mail it.
Attention, contest soupers.
I.e. Some time ago, I wrote a poem
For a contest; thought it might place;
You guessed it. When I checked, I had not
Placed, nor was my poem ever submitted.
It is also said that, "winners never quit,
And quitters never win". How true it is.
It's also true that, 'winners never forget,
And forgetters never win'.
Oh well. Maybe next time.
Boobs: Now there’s a word that has two unrelated meanings
Your preference might indicate your private thoughts and leanings
But boob can be a word that means a silly little error
Not something that will trash your life for ever and forever
Funny how in digital some numbers look like letters
And that’s quite handy for us ageing PIN number forgetters
Boob reminds me of a fulsome girl I used to date
My pin number in future is Eight Zero Zero Eight
(Just a little note to people fraudulence inclined
If you just wrote that number down you must have lost your mind
I’d never use that number now... my I.Q. aint three cubed
And if I did then folk on Soup would tell me that I boobed)
So, if your girl’s a Dolly Parton or a Taylor Swift
Or if she just slips up a bit, she’s still your special gift
The boobs my mother used to make they always left me smiley
But boobs when made by Frankenstein are something else entirely
