Limerick Ode To A Bad Memory
Limerick Ode To A Bad Memory
By Madeleine Begun Kane
My memory’s terribly rotten,
So I don’t absorb data like cotton.
My mind’s for the birds
Cuz I keep losing words:
Hypermnesiac’s meaning? Forgotten!

ha…i hope that i can keep mine as long as i can…you know…cool new word!
A poet named Madeleine Kane
held massive words in her brain.
Much effort was spent
to learn what they meant,
but now I’ve forgotten again.
Mad Kane’s got a great ca-bu-lary.
Her use of long words is quite scary.
I like it much betters
When there’s just four letters
’cause reading the long ones is weary.
Ha, you and me, both!
My memory is like a sieve
Easy to forget and to live
All falls through the mesh
No grievance is fresh
So how hard can it be to forgive?
Enjoy your blog immensely, though usually can’t get up enough courage to actually leave a comment on the polished pieces here. Thanks
Cute! :-)
“Your memory is slipping”, they say
But it has always been this way
Even at seventeen I was lame
Forgetting my girlfriend’s name
paramnesia is not only grey
[ nicely done — thank you for tempting us into playful rhyme and smiles ]
This was clever and well done
I suspect you once had a southern tongue ;D ?
My memory is not what it was
I forget many things because
My Brains in upheaval
In the act of retrieval
The words I am needing are lost.

Some daring politico [who wants to escape politics] will hafta raise the S.S. & Medicare eligibility ages~~laudable science creates longer lives. Can we cure AGEISM? How do 60-yr-olds get hired? & not fired? “Rage” is dead-on [boink!].
Thanx lots for re-running cheapskates [Pls reprint your favorites for our holidays…some of us just discovered your wizardry].
Yikes~~almost FORGOT to fwd thanx for re-publ’g memory-loss verses. “Digital Impasse” is quite ornate…a mini reality show…it gleams & glistens & is everybody’s quotidian trial. 12/11/12’s [“Bad Memory”] enchants…Tony & Ken’s swashbuckle.
Thanks so much everyone for your kind and enthusiastic words and for your verse. And thanks Zee, you certainly have been diving into my archives, haven’t you? So glad you’re enjoying my verse and humor.
