The best news I remember ever getting
Was something I would never be forgetting.
The trouble is, that’s what is now occurring;
My mind’s a blank, and that, of course, is stirring.
Why are we often failing to remember?
Not even what we’d call ‘a dying ember.
Oh yes, I guess such memories re-surface;
But never with or for a given purpose.
At times, it seems we go through life ablunder;
Since glitches come and go, no need to wonder.
As lapses will occur, no need to worry;
Just hope it’s not when you are in a hurry!
