why can't I learn?!

The Inevitable

by Roxanna Andrews

Why do I do it? What can I do
To stop the madness? Do you do it too?

How do I break the cycle before it's too late?
But can I stop it, or is it just my fate?

If I only had an eidetic memory,
like Criminal Minds, *Dr. Spencer Reid
there'd be no need,
For me to always retrieve

The box from the trash.
If I just weren't so rash!

Maybe I should think before I act,
Perhaps it's sound judgement that I lack?

If only I could learn from my mistake.
Oh, for heaven's sake!

Why can't I remember for five seconds what I read?
Seriously! What is wrong with me?



Recognized


I am forever throwing away the box and having to get it out again and again. Why?!

Another cartoon found on facebook that needed a poem.

*DR. Spencer Reid is a TV character on the series Criminal Minds. He is a genius and has an eidetic memory, meaning he sees or reads something once and commits it to memory. Eiditic memory also means total recall, a person with eiditic memory never forgets anything. On the show his character is a member of the FBI's BAU-Behavioral Analysis Unit. They study and profile criminals, mainly serial killers, of course. =}

An eiditic memory is rare. Actress Marilou Henner has an eiditic memory, Must make it easy to memorize her lines. She is most recently starring in the murder mystery series, 'Aurora Teagarden' as Aurora's mother found on the Halmark Channel. It's a good show.
