I FORGET TO EAT

 

There was a rather vacuous

Skinny girl who irritated me

“Sometimes I forget to eat”

The silly girl said to me

Now I’ve forgotten things

Where I parked the car

My mother's maiden name

Keys for the house and the car

And once even where I lived

But I’ve never forgotten to eat

I’ve been too busy or too tired

But not so stupid I forgot to eat
