I am afflicted with it, <br /> I'm a 'short - nosed elephant ', <br /> I remember everyone and everything. <br /> <br /> I don't always admit it though, <br /> because it hurts sometimes, <br /> and at other times, it feels too damn good. <br /> <br /> Now and then, I meet a fellow <br /> 'short -nosed elephant ', <br /> and we stroll down memory lane. <br /> <br /> Even if we have shared the same experience, <br /> the memories are not always the same, <br /> everyone's a picker and a chooser, <br /> everyone's a winner, not a loser - - - yesterday! <br /> <br /> The problem with being a ' short - nosed elephant ', <br /> is that you know where all the bones are, <br /> and you remember how they got there ... <br /> Sometimes it's best to forget about remembering, <br /> and pretend that some things never happened.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pachydermatitis/
