By Simbo Rumblebelly There's something I should do today A place to go? A thing to say? But what it was, I now know not I'm sad to say I've clean forgot My mind is blank! My memory, soon, I hope to wake The more I think, my head it aches No pennies drop, no bells do ring I've forgotten almost everything My heart has sank Perhaps it could involve a friend? Was there a letter I should send? Or relatives that I must see? Is someone coming round for tea? Should I prepare? I root around in desks and drawers In cupboards, and behind the doors I even look beneath my bed But nothing pops into my head There's nothing there! I walk around, retrace my steps I hope to still remember yet I study everything I see And hope the thoughts come back to me But I'm perplexed I think of things from yesterday And hope new thoughts will come my way I've forgotten many things before And remembered them again, I'm sure But still I'm vexed! Perhaps if I don't think so much I won't feel like I'm out of touch I try to clear out all my mind And leave the thing I need to find There must be one.... Hurrah! I think I do recall By mind's no longer blank at all I have remembered just in time My task it was to write this rhyme! And now it's done!
