I think my brain has passed its "use by "date!
SOME SAY I AM INTELLIGENT.


Some say I am intelligent,
Some say that I am smart.
The truth of it, I must admit,
I'm just a dumb old tart.

I can't remember what to buy
When I go to the store.
So I just start to fill the cart,
Hoping that's what I came for.

Supposed to ring up old Aunt Fay,
She wrote to me last week.
She's coming to stay on the first of May,
THAT'S TODAY! -- I'm such a geek!

I write things down to help me out,
To remember what to do.
But then I miss where I put the list,
I'm a hopeless silly moo.


My wall's now full of sticky notes.
If I read them every night,
Then folks might say, "Her brain's okay",
When I do get something right.

Yes, some say I'm intelligent,
And some say that I'm smart.
But if my wall of notes did fall,
I'd be just a dumb old tart!




*Footnote*
My wall of sticky notes, I fear,
Went flying everywhere.
Humidity and glue you see
Are not a happy pair.

I solved the problem easily
And you'll discover how
If you read ahead, what I have said
In "STICKY NOTES. right now!
