Did I leave the heater on?(at the shop)
Did I leave the heater on?( at the shop)
It's midnight, tossing and turning.
Did I forget to switch off the heater?
Deep breaths taken; no use..
Did I forget to switch off the heater.
A fire hazard.Shop in flames!
Did I forget to switch off the heater?
Can't remember. Can't think .
Have to get up.Get dressed.
Drive back to the shop.
Did I forget to switch off the heater?
Half an hour's drive.Impatient.
Did I forget to switch off the heater?
A roundabout in the process of
Reconstruction.The journey lengthens.
Did I forget to switch off the heater?.
At last.I unlock the metal shutter.
The light is switched on.
I did switch off the heater!
Foolishly I drive back home.
A momentary lapse of reason.
Did I forget to switch off the heater?
No .I did not!

A poem many of us can relate to Ornella. Well written. Did I forget to lock the car? Important items left in the car (what if someone steals them!) Walk four blocks back to check the car before going in to the meeting (fortunately arrived early for the meeting so I had time to walk back to the car.) Did I forget to lock the car? No, I did not!
