I must have been forgotten
no longer on your Christmas list
unless I missed something,

but no,
I've been forgotten
and it's something to remember
when your friends
don't seem to bother
about the things you might be doing
or the things that might be done to you.

I must have been
but does that seem so likely?
when up on Ilkley Moor
I handed 'round the hats,

no,
I haven't been forgotten
just misplaced
like
I'm a sock lost in the washing
and they'll find me if they're looking
and they won't if they are not.
