‘Remember when …’
“Don’t bring that up again, Mum!”
‘I’m not about once more
to scold
of things you’d rather
weren’t retold!

… just a reminder
to remember …

the consequences
of offences,
for only fools
ignore good rules …
so don’t forget
to learn,
or else you’ll earn
unnecessary
double
trouble!’

"only fools ignore good rules" keeps going round in my head :0) you're a genius at making memoable lines, the opposite of forgettery!

This is cute. It's a gentle poke with a sharp point but some kids never feel it do they. I too love the word forgettery, the very young and the very old know they can get away with a bit of forgettery.

Thanks, Jane. I put the question mark after 'Convenient' because though thinking it convenient to forget, hopefully many find that it is actually more convenient to remember such lessons learnt! just as it can be grace to get 'found out'! Rhiannon
