“MEMORY” FOLLIES
Got up this AM, early,
Should have known something was squirrelly!
The calendar said
Go back to bed,
But I was stubborn and surly.
–
Me-thought the wife had a date:
Her podiatrist (running late)…
Come to find out
It’s tomorrow (big shout!),
Some days we’re too blind to relate.
–
So made a bunch of phone calls
To various health service halls…
To get straightening
Situations waiting
Of which we’d become appalled.
–
Even got some posting,
One poem at least, while toasting…
Bread and grilled cheese
(Are there seconds, please?)
Wanting a nap…but coasting.
–
So now I’m really tired,
It’s a wonder the writing’s inspired…
Working real hard
As an Internet bard,
The boiler’s plumb cussedness-fired!
