Forgetter Be Forgotten?

As heard on the 1XX Breakfast Show with Colin Magee
My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke

For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering
If I really should be 'there'
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room,
Say 'what am I here for?'
I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,
Say 'Hi' and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, 'who the hell was that?

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.

Thought Provoking Emails

From time to time Colin Magee has received and read out some thought provoking faxes and e-mails from 1XX listeners from throughout the Bay Of Plenty region.

Each time he reads them on the air during his Breakfast Show he gets phone calls asking "where can I get a copy?" Well here's your chance to get your own copy.

We'll add some of those faxes and e-mails here for you to read and to print out for yourselves or to share with friends and family.

If you have some to contribute then e-mail Colin here and he may read it out during the 1XX Breakfast Show and we may also include them on this page.

Click on the titles to read the contributions.
