If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered - Edgar Allan Poe
Please Sir (I Have Forgotten)
Please sir, I have forgotten,
To bring to art today,
My one and only pencil,
I don't know what to say.
It's not inside my bag or coat,
It's not inside my tray,
It's not inside my pencil case,
Where I keep it everyday.
Young man, you have forgotten,
To bring to art today,
Your one and only pencil,
Well, I have this to say:
It's not inside your bag or coat,
It's not inside your tray,
It's not inside your pencil case,
Because you left it in my clay!
