Forgetting
important things has always been a passive habit of mine.
Often when I
travel, I get this lingering feeling that I might have left something
behind.
Really, sometimes
I just wish I could forget forgetting for once.
Generally, I
forget to pick up my mom from the grocery shop.
Of course she can’t
reach me through my cell-phone.
That’s because I’d
often forget to recharge its battery too!
Ting tong! Wonder who
that could be?
Evening MOM, I know I
forgot again, sorry... (That's one angry mom!)
Now, where was I?
Oh, forget it... ~waves a white flag!!!~
P.S: Just to be clear, I never forget to pick up my mom from the grocery shop!!

ReplyDeleteIt is easy to forget other things when the mind is busy writing poetry and prose. I am so glad to know that you don't forget your mother, though.
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts on forgetfulness..

Things are bad. Wait till you are my age and then see what you forget...just about everything! Poor Mom!
ReplyDelete@Sheilagh Lee, @Angel, @Rahul Bhatia, Thank you and many thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDelete@MaryA, you are right. I am a little forgetful when it comes to remembering smaller things. But can't forget my mom even if I tried :)
@Marie, haha, even I do the same. I've even got a post-it on my bedroom wall that says: "you are supposed to be studying" :P .. I just get easily distracted.
@oldegg, oh that's too bad. Hope my memory improves as I age!!
