Chuck Audette - Another Forgotten

don't know the date
are these bills all late?
can't seem to keep track
my memory's not back
from wherever it went
what'd i do? i repent!

reminders pour in
folks much chagrinned
appointments missed
meetings dissed
left the sprinkler on
my keys again gone
my wallet misplaced
but i'll see it someplace

a string on my finger?
does nothing but linger.
wrote on my hand -
didn't help as I planned..
even calls to myself
sadly don't help

so i write real quick
while the words still stick
but it's growing worse
this wretched curse
these amnesia blues
what can i do?
and why and who?
and, uhm..
What the heck...
was I... asking you?
