The Consequences of Forgetfulness


I forgot to press the button
To cook the rice one afternoon.

For want of rice,
The meal was late
For want of a meal,
The seminar was lost
For want of the seminar,
The examination question was lost
For want of the question,
The vital marks were lost.

For want of the vital marks,
The examination was lost
For want of the examination,
The degree was lost
For want of the degree,
The career was lost
For want of the career,
The future was lost.

And all because
I forgot
To press the button
To cook the rice one afternoon.

Hey, cool rhyme, but I think you should take your address out of your post - there are a lot of nutters out there!

Stay cool

Gee whiz dude, that's a bit too much now, innit? Well next time try have on-the-go kinda food, e.g. granola bars and sandwiches. I know, it ain't as filling as rice, but it certainly is better than nothing! :P

Actually no seminars were missed or futures ruined in the production of this rhyme ... lol.

Merely a contemplation of what might have been.
