-Congratulations on the win!
-Well written poem that takes a humorous look at your flaws, a number of which many have experienced:
We say, I know I just had my glasses, keys, etc. How can we find the glasses when we don't have them to find with! When the car is misplaced in the parking lot, at least we have beepers now!
-Now, forgetting your kids, that's another thing!

I would drive them to school but sometimes they would walk home ( it wasn't far anyway ) and say You said you would pick me up ! but all good. )However key still an issue at times Ha ha .At least I am aware of this fault and do try to remember most things. Cheers for your feedback and support Cheers Christine😃

Hi Chrissy, I've always had a bad memory too and the older I get, the worse it gets.

This was so much fun to read. I liked all the stanzas. Thank you for putting a big smile on my face. Hugs, Lou

I love your funny poem. Nice rhyme and form to bring a smile to my face as it reminds me so much of my good lady, she has found her car keys and glasses in the fridge on occasion. I got her a diary like you to take notes, but she can't find it.
Bless you
John

Another attribute of hell memory stated to be the dead status and enforced principality governing its residence. We all suffer that blank in this existence. Too, things at once upon our minds. This write made me think.

fun, whimsical poem that seems at first to be asking for "forgiveness" for being forgetful and ends with asking others to just accept the forgetfulness. Most have done one or more of the "lost and seek" incidents you describe, making it easy for the reader to relate to the poem. The rhyme scheme is consistent and adds to the lightheartedness of the poem.

Suggestion -- reread for "flow" -- there are times the cadence seems a bit off.

"Then wonder where they are,
For cannot read and get quite mad "
--seems you need to add "I" after "for" for clarity (For I cannot...). Otherwise the reader pauses to determine if the line refers to the narrator or to the missing item.

I have this problem too. It's call air-headedness in my world. I left each of my children at sometime or other. I like to think it's that Im so intelligent that my brin is crowded. This rhyme mixed with humor is delightful.

    Hi seaglass yes at time air headedness could fit me as well, although I would like to think I am a bit more intelligent as well lol
    I think at times the busy brain just does not take thing in so it is always interesting and I can laugh about my memory. Cheers for you great review

I love the picture. I love the poem. I have always had a bad memory too. I did not have anything to blame it on until I got older. Now, I tell them I am a old woman. Get used to my bad memory. Great work.
