[bodytext] => I'm sure this has happened to most of you You come up with this brilliant thought Before you get a chance to write it down It vanishes like a shot You try and try so hard to remember This amazing new invention But your mind's gone south for the winter And has no capacity for retention You start to sweat and feel the panic It was a marvellous new discovery It was going to change the way we lived But the odds are slim for recovery You consider the electric shock treatment By sticking your finger in a socket Thought better of it cause your hands were wet And your hair would take off like a rocket So you resign yourself and figure it's gone Suddenly it pops back in your brain The thing you were trying to remember so hard Was your mother's and father's last name! ©Jack Ellison 2012 [comments] => 1 [counter] => 117 [topic] => 7 [informant] => percival86jack [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )
