The Thought that Forgot

There once was a thought that forgot
It forgot quite a bit, quite a lot.
It forgot to occur
So it thus stayed obscure
In the mind of the thinker who thought.

The thinker once started the thought,
But stopped when the thought came to naught.
“It must be quite trivial, this thought that I got,”
Said the thinker who misplaced the thought.

But this thought unimportant was not
And it lost its great place in the plot
Of the world’s allegory,
That wonderful story
Comprised of each remembered thought.

“Remember,” I tell every thought,
“Don’t let yourself ever get caught
Forgetting to come
To the mind of someone.
Just give it your best thinking shot.”

If ever you find yourself caught
Unable to finish a thought,
Put regret to a halt
It isn’t your fault.
You’ve just had a thought that forgot.
