There’s a word for the way I’m feeling,
but it’s somehow slipped my mind.
Been meaning to share my frustration,
but the word has been hard to find.
I searched all throughout the kitchen,
but the word just was not there.
Found a lost cup in the microwave,
missing shoes under a chair.
Then I ransacked through the parlor,
the word I still could not recall.
Found the hammer I had misplaced
hanging pictures on the wall.
Next, I scavenged through my room.
A candle flickered by the bed.
I could swear that I had blown it out,
got distracted somehow instead.
Something’s burning in the kitchen!
Stoves on? How could I forget?
I’m feeling so…what IS that word?
I’ve simply forgotten, I regret.
