The Forgetfulness Rap
Wait a minute!
I forgot it.
What? Forgot?
What did you forget?
I gotta think a minute,
What did I forget?
I thought I knew,
but shit!
I forgot it,
I forgot what I forgot.
If you forgot
what you forgot,
forget it, man,
it can’t be that important, man.
Sit back and relax.
It’ll come back to you
when you least expect it,
suddenly,
it’ll pop into your head
out of a clear blue sky,
and you’ll smile and say Hi!
Hi old friend!
How you doin’, man?
Nice to see you again.
Suggested Activities
Form several groups. Each group has to practice and perform the rap.
In addition, each group must write (and perform) a verse about one of the following topics:
1-What was your worst experience with regard to forgetting?
2-Why do you forget things. What are some of the reasons?
3-When do you forget things? What are the typical situations you forget things in?
4-What do you forget? What are some things you often forget?
