Somewhere in a blur of classes I remember
that today is Thursday and
I had it written somewhere that
this Thursday is Dad’s birthday
and I didn't say a thing
this morning.
Ugh.

So this is a brief and (I hope) humorous poem I wrote on the afternoon of my Dad's birthday when I had finally gotten around to remembering what day it was and felt horribly guilty.
