Another Forgotten Poem by Chuck Audette
Another Forgotten
don't know the date
are these bills all late?
can't seem to keep track
my memory's not back
from wherever it went
what'd i do? i repent!
reminders pour in
folks much chagrinned
appointments missed
meetings dissed
left the sprinkler on
my keys again gone
my wallet misplaced
but i'll see it someplace
a string on my finger?
does nothing but linger.
wrote on my hand -
didn't help as I planned..
even calls to myself
sadly don't help
so i write real quick
while the words still stick
but it's growing worse
this wretched curse
these amnesia blues
what can i do?
and why and who?
and, uhm..
What the heck...
was I... asking you?
Chuck, Too much truth involved here - - - and it doesn't matter what I say, if nobody is remembering - - - ... when are you sending me my money? :) B.V.A.

This is the ADHD talking. I lose everything, I have piles of mail...unopened. I ran over my cell phone because i left it on the bumper of my car. I am so happy that I am not alone.
Worth all the guffaws that are forthcoming. Read mine - Indebted - Adeline
Hahaha. Strangely, this seems to be a way of life lately. Thanks Chuck.

haha enjoyed this poem and can relate to it too. I once left my keys in the front door lock all night! It's a wonder I didn't get burgled? Thank goodness I was lucky eh. Ruthie

LOL! Chuck, we all suffer from this amnesia on occasions. You've expressed it with wonderful wit, as always! Have a great Sunday! Beth
