FORGET ME NOT
THE LEGEND GOES
THAT ADAM AND GOD
WERE SITTING AT A
TABLE
NAMING EVERYTHING
GOD HAD MADE
THEY MADE SOME
REVISIONS TO AN ORIGINAL LIST
SHARK AND MINNOW THEY
REVERSED
ALSO STORK AND CANARY
GIRAFFE THEY HAD
ORIGINALLY CALLED DREAMER
BECAUSE HIS HEAD WAS
IN THE CLOUDS
TIME FOR A TASTY
BEVERAGE
SAID ADAM
AGREED SAID GOD
PLEASED THAT ADAM WAS
OVER HIS SNIT
HE HAD WANTED TO BE
CALLED PERCIVAL
BUT GOD HAD SAID
EITHER ADAM
OR PRIMOGENITURE
YOU DECIDE
THEY SAT THERE FOR
AWHILE
ENJOYING THE VIEW
WHEN A VOICE FROM
UNDER THE TABLE
SAID
PLEASE SIRE
FORGET ME NOT
BECAUSE I AM SMALL
GOD LOOKED DOWN
SAW A LITTLE BLUE
FLOWER AT HIS FEET
OF COURSE NOT
SAID GOD FLUSTERED
GODS ARE FLUSTERED
IF THEY FORGET
SOMETHING
IT LOOKS BAD ON A
GOD’S RESUME
OF COURSE NOT
ADAM MEANWHILE
WAS HOLDING HIS
BREATH
HE WAS EXPECTING
MOUNTAINS TO BLOW UP
OCEANS TO SURGE
STARS TO FALL
HE HAD HEARD THE
TALES THE ANGELS SAY
THEY ARE SUCH TALE
CARRIERS
BUT NOTHING LIKE THAT
HAPPENED
BENDING DOWN
HE SAID
YOU HAVE NAMED
YOURSELF LITTLE ONE
YOU SHALL BE CALLED
FORGET ME NOT
A REMINDER
THAT ALL FAULTS ARE
FORGIVEN
EVEN MINE
WHEN I MADE THE
PLATYPUS
WHAT WAS I THINKING
FRANK A VOLLMER
