A Lost Memory Poem by Paul Warren

I had a friend who lost her memory
And she used to spend some time
Explaining this when she met
People around where she lived

This worked fine until she met a neighbour
And she diligently explained her predicament
Afterfull five minutes the neighbour said
That he had only moved in recently
And had not ever met her before

From that day forward she didn't explain
She never got her memory fully back and
When meeting people she always felt awkward
Until they gave her enough information
For her to be sure she had known them before.
