My memory must be excellent because I cain’t remember anything that I forgot.





Memory Salad,

Well I’ve done a lotta dumb things in my life,
I got that phrase memorized, it’s a favorite of my wife,

We went out to dinner,, I think she was buying,
Boy I sure messed that up without even trying,

Wished her Happy Birthday, everything looked fine,
But it wasn’t her Happy Birthday , it was mine,

Normally she’s pretty good her memory ain’t gone to pot,
She just forgets that I cain’t remember what I forgot,

Then there was something, I forgot what every body does,
I’ll just ask my wife, she’ll remember what it was,

Dear do you remember, what you said to do,
She said , shoulda wrote it down like I told you to,

Dear I’m a writer, was it on your grocery list,
My mind was occupied with something, I mighta missed,

I wanna be an esteemed author, a highly favored one,
She said she favored lobsters highly steamed until they’re done,

Respect ain’t her strongest suit as you can plainly see,
Well I like lobsters, but I thought this was about me,

I cain’t recall what she said was always being left undone,
Seems to me it was something, a kinda important one,

She said there were so many things ; my memory’s kinda dim,
I’m just hoping here in church , my fly ain’t one of them !!

Another nice twist at the end. Losing memory can be fun. Occupies a lot of the extra time we have every day, doesn't it? When you bring your wife into the dialogue, you could be a standup comedian and have probably done that.

Good comedians with snappy one-liners live long and happy. But it's probably those Jewish genes that really do the trick. ;-)

Excellent poem, I loved it, and there was me thinking I was the
only one who's memory was shot,
Keep 'em coming Tom and thanks for sharing.

Well, Tom, you remembered to write this down, so you must be fibbing. In any case, sitting close-up, knees-tight in a church pew can't be that serious an embarrassment! If you stood up to face the officiating priest, he might give you a wink, NO??? Okay, funny is funny as everything from your dripping pen... On second thoughts, the incident can't be that serious considering your age: if you can't get it up...Or can you? Maybe you forgot that, too.

Since the Boss-Lady is to blame...How do you remember who she is???
