Forget Me Not

I tell myself I shouldn’t worry,
I=m sure there’s no need to hurry.

Uncertain I, pick up my pen,
and then I put it down again.

Look at the list and see the date,
I=m reassured it=s not too late.

There=s lots of time I=ll vow and swear,
before It=s time for Christmas fare.

For Christmas pudd and turkey roast,
and all the things I love the most.

But hark! the herald calendar,
doth surely tell a date too far.

For time has flown while here I sit,
and all my cards remain unwrit.

What can I do? I=m late again,
what have I got instead of brain?

Oh lack a day, and twice I scold,
but then an answer I behold.

I=ll send my greeting, full of cheer,
in time to wish you ‘Happy New Year’.
