Shade forgetful

I had it right here

just the other day.

I was sure I'd remember

when I put it away.

.

It told a good story

that I wanted to tell

and when I was finished

It told it well.

.

I was reminded about it

as we sat here a talkin

was going to tell you about it.

that's what kept me from walken.

.

I don't recall the tale

that I wanted to say

but if I find that paper

I'll remember today.

.

Cause I'm sure I wrote down

where I saved it real fast

I did that at the end

before I finished the last.

.

Now I cant find what I wrote

to help find what I'd written

'bout that story I was telling

that I felt was so fitting'.

.

Well! Lets get back to the talk

about what we were saying.

Oh? I was telling you quite simply

I wouldn't be stayin'?

.

I had some place to go

where I had to be?

Well where was I going?

Can you please tell me?

.

To hell in a hand basket?

Now that makes a rhyme.

I did one about that

when I was writing one time.

.

Now let me see.

I had it right here.

I wrote it one day.

It's got to be near.
