MY REMEMBERER IS BROKE
I’ve forgotten what I can’t remember,
or can’t remember what I forgot.
This remembering thing is a problem,
cause I think it happens quite a lot.
The things I can’t remember
seem to slip right out of my mind.
I can’t remember why it happens,
but it seems to happen all the time.
I leave myself reminder notes,
then can’t remember where I left them,
and since I’ve forgotten where they are,
It’s more than likely to happen again.
When I do find one of my notes,
can’t remember what it’s about.
Likely, if they were more complete,
they’d carry a lot more clout.
I seldom remember what I’ve forgotten,
though I’ll remember that I forgot.
Sometimes I’ll be reminded,
but after the fact, likely as not.
But, now on my computer
there’s a calendar in my software
and if I remember to remind myself,
I can find the answer there.
So now, my daily chore
to keep my mind fancy free,
remember to turn on my computer
and send a reminder note to me.
