My forgetter's getting better, But my rememberer is broke To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering If I really should be 'there' And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer! Oft times I walk into a room, Say 'what am I here for?' I wrack my brain, but all in vain! A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say 'Hi' and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, 'who the hell was that?' Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy And that isn't any joke. CAN YOU R ELATE??? Please send this to everyone you know because I D ON'T R EMEMBER W HO I S ENT T HIS T O !
Speaking of "Getting Older"? I was having a conversation with Miss Tracy the other day.....and told her about a friend of mine that just got back from Columbia....(near Bogota) and he emailed me for my mailing address because : "There's some primo home grown Columbian headed your way"....and we laughed so much at how grown up we were because our first thoughts was how wonderful it would taste after grinding the beans and having it in the cup! There was a time in my life that would NOT have been my first thought..
Ain't that the truth, if I were to turn the clock back to the 70's. We all for the most part have to grow up and face the real world and the problems that go along with it, with our minds unimpared if we hope to survive. Me I want to survive. Even though I have read the book, and know how the story ends, I want to see for myself how it all plays out. Take care! May God Bless.
Love the poem, tacmotusn (dare I admit I just had to re-check who posted this?). Ummm... yeah, I can relate. You've got me cracking up all over again. Thanks!!!
Tracey, I don't write poetry, can't remember any except limmericks for a day or three. Don't remember jokes to tell orally for more than a week, but will steal one of either if I think it is a good one, and I will pass it along. I am glad that you enjoyed it.
