Whatchamacallit
If I had a dollar in my wallet,
for every time I said whatchamacallit,
I'd be a very rich man today.
The older I get, the behinder I get,
it grows like my teenage years.
But I don't regret, get my backup just yet,
all that work avoids adolescent tears.
I just plug away, forget more each day,
and refile my memories galore.
At least I'm not at that point yet,
where I forget what I was getting,
to get at the store… or more.
But when it comes to a name,
a place or a date… I’m lame.
And often have to say whatchamacallit,
to just relate, and that's not relating great.
So if you're like me and forget what you,
wanted to say. Don't delay…,
Just say whatchamacallit this,
whatchamacallit that.
Continue on with your story,
like the Cat in the Hat.
The one that got your tongue.

Don't you know how it feels to be aging.
The memory is tricky. Sometimes I feel like I can't even remember what day it is!
But then I can remember stuff like what size shoe an actor took last year...It's quite crazy I tell you.
I liked your poem!!
Much peace love and light

but I can always forget a face.
Memory loss is a form of freedom.
and I'm getting there at a rapid pace.

That whatchamacallit game when we were kids.
Oh, my so many times also saying that word for who is that
in our class reunion photo. Fun read Ron. Quite sly that cat!!
