I Tied A String

An ode to my senility!

I TIED A STRING

 

I tied a string around my finger,

In hopes that I would remember.

 

Invited to dinner, I tied it around my waist,

Looking for an inconspicuous spot, in my haste.

 

Later, at a movie, I tied it around my thigh,

Not to be seen, there, by passersby.

 

I went for a swin and tied it around my toe;

Maybe, it wouldn't really show.

 

At bedtime, I tied it around my brow,

Wondering, what was I supposed to remember, anyhow!

Author's Note

At least, I kept track of the stupid string!

wow, this tickles the funny bone to the core, the flow is powerful and consumingly wonderful, I really got a kick out of the fast pace excitement your words projected, as well as humorous messege that i'm sure most people
can relate to in one way or another. you have an awsome way with
formula, I really liked this, and look forward to reading more from you.

[Jessica Mai]

I can definitely relate! I love this and everything about this poem, the flow the structure the rhyme and most importantly the theme. Really well done :)

I liked the idea of a string as a symbol for remembering, keeping a record of events in memory. If someone cuts through the string, what then? I just appreciate the thought and the humor that comes with it. A clever piece! Keep writing.

Really humorous! Nicely put together, and has a profundity in an abstract kind of way. I think your 'author's note' should be tagged on the end of the poem - because that's even funnier!

Sounds like you or more so like me. LOL

[Mike Espinosa]

This is quite amusing. A short, fun poem. You did a great job catching forgetfulness and our ever-so-futile attempts at remembering. Very well done.

Ah, Christina, I know how you feel. I'm now paying for all those lost brain cells I killed while in the Navy. (We used to drink a little bit)

I'd forget why I tied the string!

Fun poem!!

[KendraDiann]

That was very cute and entertaining. FYI though your titles don't match. On said I tied a spring and the other says I tied a string. Just a little typo. Loved the poem though.
