“That” Friend
My friend is amenable, but she is clueless.
If memories were sticky notes, hers would be glueless.
It seems like her calendar’s up for debate,
and if she shows up, she is, chronically late.
She’s always slow to get the ball rolling
for our monthly date for dinner and bowling.
Her memory’s airy. It blows where it blows.
Her socks are unmatched. There are tags on her clothes.
Her hair is disheveled, and It’s often the case
that traces of night cream are left on her face.
In short, she’s a space case. Her life’s in arrears.
If she were a car, she’d be missing some gears.
We gave up long ago in trying to change her.
We can’t straighten her out or fix or arrange her.
Over the years we’ve become less perplexible
figuring she’s here to keep us more flexible.
Prompts for the day are amenable, late, clueless, airy and bowl. Photo for illustrative purposes only. The friends in this picture are anything but clueless. Not necessarily so for the person in the foreground, however! ;o)

She’s fictional, Sadje, but I think we’ve all had someone of this ilk in our lives.

BUT IT IS DIFFICULT NOT TO LOVE THEM~!
Yes I know a lady with memory the same;
too many sticky notes, stuck onto her brain
a few important ones, but others there in vain
but she is dear enough to remind her again~!

I think I’m turning into your friend! I know I should care more but I don’t seem to care enough. I do try to remember to at least brush my hair before I consider myself dressed.
