Whatchamacallit

I meant for this to be funny, but in the
end I guess it is quite serious for some.
Thanks to Google, whenever I can't
remember something now, I just look
it up and there it is. Google is one
great memory enhancer.

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.

I appreciate your wit and humor, Ron; and this is meaningful too. My short term memory is not what it used to be it seems. Love and peace,

AT MY AGE I AM GRATEFUL TO REMEMBER AS MUCH AS I DO AND THINK; WHAT THE HECK, IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE! THANKS FOR THE SHARE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

After a while, there has been too much to happen to remember it all. If we could open up an additional 10% of our brain, we'd have more room to store stuff. I can be scarry when it seems to be right on the tip of my tongue. I enjoyed the poem.

Ron,
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
Amber

I can never remember a name,
but I can always forget a face.
Memory loss is a form of freedom.
and I'm getting there at a rapid pace.

I'm there and sometimes way beyond seeming to have trouble with names, who the hell are you again & what are we talking about...? -e-

I think everyone's memories are selective memories. Some memoeries may appel to us a lot stronger than others. Fun read.

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!!

When I was much younger we used to call a whatchamacallit a thingamajig... but in those days it was Bill Haley who rocked around the clock.

Oh, I'm way ahead of you on remembrance. I have gotten to the point where my short term memory is for the birds. I can completely forget what I have gotten out of my chair to do. Scary, my friend.

I think this is so profound. The word should be in the dictionary and the thing they call...ummm...whatchamacallit? Ahhh yes,the crosswords.

don't think there is anyone who cannot relate to this poem of yours Ron. I saw it as quite humorous although as we age we end to feel sad as our memories get confused because we have so many of them. Thanks for the reminder.
