Homework, said my teacher, br Is to write a poem, br About your fondest br Childhood memory br br Immediately, I began to shake br And within minutes br A cold sweat had br Come over me br br I had dreaded, br Absolutely dreaded, br This day, br This moment in time. br br I thought perhaps br I might find an excuse br Such as dogs dying br Or broken water pipes br br I wondered br If I dropped the course br Would I get br A rebate? br br And then br It dawned on me br The perfect line... br I'm afraid br I've had amnesia br All these years.
