If Memory Serves

 

Memory serves me

yet often does not

its portions are meager

a self-serving lot

 

Memory is deceiving

it wobbles and flops

it can be selective

sometimes it is botched

 

It fades as it ages

like an ink blot

its accuracy questioned

at times it gets lost

 

However it serves me

getting better it's not

oh memory serve me

you're what I forgot.

Like the concept and the delivery, especially the pay-off...
while thinking:
Its accuracy questioned
It cares not a jot!

dk I've got news
It is how it should
Be to a WOL friend
Nice and all good

By talking so nicely
'Bout your memory
It now will try harder
At working for thee ?
