Organizer

Organize me,
keep me on task.
I in-put information
names, addresses,
phone numbers, too.
I list methodically
the dates and times of
appointments, birthdays,
celebrations, meet-ups,
and due dates; even rate
their importance with stars.

I do understand the drill,
that people my age need
to write things down.
I check out the days events
the first thing in mornings light
commit it all to mind, but then,
something always slips by me.

I do my part dilgently, so
can’t for the life of me see
how my organizer has failed
once more in it’s task
to manage and organize me.
