Oblivion

Forgetful me.
I sometimes forget words. Halfway through the vocal cords.
And when I do remember them, it doesn't sound right.
See, I could have used larynx there. Not so poetic.
Unless rhymed with pharynx. Now I forget which was which.

There's a history for this disease. Infected gene pool.
Or there are people who say it is a fad of the times
 Sometimes it is nice to forget things. Where the sugar was kept
And mix your pudding up with salt then. Oh the laugh!

All hell breaks loose when I forget my password
Not of my email account, but the banking sites.
Well, I never forget the twitface password.
Yet I may forget your face to your name.
"oh Mrs.phhhbhhht. You look so very lovely
Shiny and bright as new. Got married just I suppose.
Oh wait, your kids have kids too?! Let me guess
You aren't Mrs.phhhbhhht, are you? "

Shrinks upon shrinks have I consulted
Tonics and tactics have been taken up.
Remembering the word with a card and a colour
Or a number and a mental picture
And when I talk, a blubber of gestures and mangled phrases
Sound like they have been in a train wreck.

"There must be a connection", said one quirky doc
"We need to measure the velocity of your hair falling down
Once the head is free of hair, your memory can grow fairly well"
I saw my friend shave his head. He's still as dumb as a joker.

Psst.. the reason why I forget things is to have some fun
Coz people forgive a lunatic soon. And then I can have a good laugh
When the pudding is too salty and the tea too cold
I may even call you fat and get away.
When  I  write silly things, I 'll  be called a genius.
Transcendence or something they call it.
 Basically, timeless humor they mean.
But these fools! What do they know of a day's good laugh?

Now that I'm tired of writing, I’ll leave you to wonder it's meaning
As I have forgotten the very  thought that made me write this little thing.
