My forgetter’s getting better
\nBut my rememberer is broke
\nto you that may seem funny
\nbut, to me, that is no joke.<\/p>\n
For when I’m “here” I’m wondering
\nIf I really should be “there”
\nAnd, when I try to think it through,
\nI haven’t got a prayer!<\/p>\n
Oft times I walk into a room,
\nSay “what am I here for?”
\nI wrack my brain, but all in vain
\nA zero, is my score.<\/p>\n
At times I put something away
\nWhere it is safe, but, Gee!
\nThe person it is safest from
\nIs, generally, me!<\/p>\n
When shopping I may see someone,
\nSay “Hi” and have a chat,
\nThen, when the person walks away
\nI ask myself, “who’s that?”<\/p>\n
Yes, my forgetter’s getting better
\nWhile my rememberer is broke,
\nAnd it’s driving me plumb crazy
\nAnd that isn’t any joke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
