Not Even a Memory
by Christopher Colton Daly

I can not remember a thing

not even a little tinkling

When I asked he man next door
"What is in one plus one?"
He replied, "You're in tenth grade."
I said, "I can not remember a thing!"

Help me in math, help me in spelling;
for I   can not   remember a thing

{Editorial note: I like this poem, especially the line breaks and the spacing in the last line. Christopher knows what makes interesting poetry.}
