I had a thought
But it turned to naught
      Because it slipped my mind; --
I had a date
But it was too late
      For it had slipped my mind; --
Of things I had a list
But all those things I missed
      Because the list it slipped my mind; --
I was going to go somewhere
But in time I went nowhere
      Due to it having had slipped my mind; --
I had an errand to do
But I never did it when the day was thru
      On account of the fact that it'd slipped my mind; --
Things I cannot find; --
Memories dull that once shined; --
Fleeting moments gone that instants defined: ----
       They were lost because they slipped my mind.
