Baby brain

 It must have been "baby brain"

You know: that state of mind

Where you do something

That you quite forget about

Until many years have gone past

Other people get angry: abuse you

But you cannot seem to see!

I'd gone to the Kingston-on-Murray shop

Dad gave me some money that day

But for some silly reason I can’t explain

I booked it up: I didn't pay that way

Caused a lot of stress and confusion

They said to dad: "please pay this account"

Dad  rang me and I said: I'd paid!

I just couldn't understand it?

Why would they say I hadn't done it?

When I thought I had surely paid it!

Many years later on it came to me

Made me angry all over again

Until it clicked: until I knew it!

Oh dear Lord: I surely blew it!

That long forgotten memory returned

Oh how my face flushed: burned!

I am so sorry guys: I apologise!

I didn't pay and caused such a mess

I honestly didn't mean to do it!
