Before I forget!

When getting old, one forgets.

"Where are my car keys?"

"Where did I put my glasses?"

One forgets!

One even forgets on forgots!

Like today I came into a room for something.

On entering I forgot.

Now becoming forgotten

While I forget.

We forget the forgotten

In our minds we find

What we forgot!

Sometimes we can't forget

What should be forgotten.

While more importantly

Something we hold close

We forget!

We forget 

On the forgotten

We forget

On the forgot!

And I was going to say something else now

But I forgot!!

Because I forget

And now.... its forgotten!...... I forgot!.....I forget!

I think you would have had to write this one in one fail swoop my friend - there is no way of unravelling this particular ball of brain-wool working back. I admire you for this - and I laughed too Andrew
Even spellchecker would have thrown the head up lol
More power to your pen mate!!

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Anto and it was done in one take because if I had thought about it too much I'm sure that past , present, future tense would be a ball of twisted chaotic mouth full of meaningless thoughts. It still maybe wrong but I'm not going there lol. Thanks Mate for taking a gander!!

"a ball of twisted chaotic mouth full of meaningless thoughts" - just because you're 13 hours in front on me doesnt mean you can drop these bombs at breakfast lol
Great craic Andrew -
xD

[andrew mitchell]

My pleasure I can't say craic! It means something else down here wink wink say no more! As a crack is a crack and now I've said it !! There goes all my female reviews now!! lol

[ANTO]

Well funny you say that - an English comedian used that ambiguity to his advantage - he implied that when we said craic we meant crack-cocaine so when he interviewed a local politician - he was talking about drugs (the audience was let in on this) but the Sinn Fein politician was talking about craic (Irish for fun). The comedian is white but dresses and talk like a black man as his persona ALI G.
This is the actual interview - enjoy

lol Thanks Anto I like Ali G lol should be good

[ANTO]

When he was still able to be taken seriously - his cover hadn't been blown - he really stuck it to the politicians - they thought they were the smart ones - he was the smart one. Sometimes a clown is much wiser than they look. So many funny moments from Ali G out there.

[andrew mitchell]

so true!! Thanks for the compliment that's huge!!

[ANTO]

You just act the clown A.M. and we love you for it. I can see into your soul though - you've a good soul.

Reminds me of Bill Cosby skit a viewed about 10 years back,
when he says " you forget things until your ready to sit down"
Then right when you want to relax that forget is not forgotten
anymore! Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

I love this one! I struggle so much with forgetting way more things than I should (yes, even at the age of 23). It leads me to think of so much more though, just like your writing did! Fantastic words. It touched my brain. :D
