Just a bit of whimsy quickly written, but i think it\'s rather nice and works well. My wife essentially got rougher versions of the first and third verses but i felt something was missing. Added the 2nd verse. Not too sure it works bur...

The Last Goodbye
Jabberwocky said:
We remember uncompleted things more than we remember completed things.
I think that\'s why we remember certain people more than others, because of things we intended but never did, or things that were just left unresolved.
It\'s called the Zeigarnik effect.
Sorry for your loss.

Good write, one of the most respected teachers that I had back in the time when we were writing on slate was a maths master who never raised his voice, never punished anyone but was always in control and was respected by all.

Well I have to say, I totally relate to this poem! Math was no picnic for me! In fact it was by far my worst subject. Algebra was one big question mark until I was having a conversation about math with one of my kids math teachers, and he made a valid point....that algebra is a way of teaching kids how to start problem solving in life and not just in math. Maybe had a teacher explained it to me in that way I would have done my best to pay better attention and try to understand the reasoning behind the problems we were given to solve. Not sure i would have done any better with the actual class, but at least I would have been more inspired to try.
At any rate, I took pleasure in reading this. It has an easy read, with an even flow, and I heard not only my voice, but a student\'s as well while reading it out loud! Thanks for a fun, relatable read!

For god\'s sake, aamina, don\'t t repeat it to your teacher, unless (s)he has a good sense r of the absurd.
Actually I think maths is one of the few the things in life that does make some sense.
(BTW I hope you\'re not one of my students, i hope I explain the point at least to my A level classes, even if not lower down the school.)
Anyway thanks for comnenting, glad it made your day. Best of luck with your studies. I hope your teacher does have a good sense of the absurd!

I Wish My Friends Were Like sausages
BeckyJo said:
All beef sausage sliced at an angle.
White onion
Red bell pepper
Cook the sausage and onion for as long as it takes to be slimy.
Add red pepper and cook till it too is slimy.
Serve with beef Rice a Roni, the San Francisco treat!
For those with good tummies add some saurekraut and let it retain its crunchiness.
That\'s a darn good meal.
Warm sourdough bread with real butter is a nice touch.

That entire last stanza is the heart of your poetic remembrance. I had never considered the importance of things left undone. Reading this was like Wow! a whole new outlook on life\'s little quirks. Loved it.
