The Forgetful Philosopher
Oh, memories of sorrow, please take a hike,
Pack your bags and catch the next bike.
Life’s too short for brooding and tears,
I’ve decided to laugh for the rest of my years.
That breakup? Who? Was it Joe or Jon?
Can’t recall—was it nine or ten?
The time I tripped in front of the class?
It’s now just a tale of my graceful sass.
Bills unpaid and that dent on my car,
I blame it on Mercury retrograde’s bizarre!
The boss who yelled, “You’re late again!”
What’s his name? Oh, it’s gone down the drain.
I’ve trained my brain to misplace the gloom,
Stuffed it all in a forgotten room.
When sadness knocks, I just giggle instead,
“Sorry, no vacancy in my head!”
So here’s to amnesia, my new best friend,
A goofy companion until the end.
Forget life’s troubles, let joy be your blast,
The future’s too funny to dwell on the past!
