The whispering door

The whispering door,
Creaks no more.
Did I forget to remember,
Or remember to forget.
This remembering is,
Filled with such regret.

I cooked Sunday dinner today,
Forgot that it was only Saturday.
Sunday is another forgotten day,
So for Sunday I'll order a takeaway.

Wednesday brings a memory test,
I'm a little worried I must confess.
No that's at the end of the month,
Wednesday my eye drop test.

My mind is in a turmoil,
Dare I take time off to sleep.
Wondering while I sip from my
Coffee cup, To many what ifs,
What if I forget to wake-up.

Mind you I haven't had a bad life,
Two children and a grandson.
With an ever loving wife,
To late to worry about what the
morning may bring, Goodnight.

ANY day is Sunday dinner day in our house.
Whispering doors are the sign of a good handyman!

Good night.
