Thanks for the Memories

(Slade, 81)

Thanks for the memories
Of all the time I kill
While waiting for the drill
Or was I in the lawyer's office
Drawing up my will?
I'll never
Forget.

Thanks for the memories
Of writing out the checks
At Bloomingdale's or Saks
Reminding me of theories such as
Bowers, Turners, and Black's
I'll never
Forget.

Memory organization
Is
When packets are brought in relation
Through strategies
Come indices
To memories
And expertise, so

MOPs are for memories
Of steaks cooked very rare
Reminding me of hair
That wasn't cut the way I wanted
In the barber chair
I'll never
Forget.

MOPs are for memories
Of diving at the beach
For dollars out of reach
Bringing to mind the story of
The drunk with specious speech
I'll never
Forget.
