There was an event
I really wanted to go to
so – proactive –
I put the event in my calendar.
I didn’t mention the important connections
or the showgirls in attendance.
I trusted myself
to remember all that.

I wrote up all the relevant details
in my calendar
and rested
knowing full well
that memory
was just a datebook away.

But I placed the event on April first
which should have been a clue
as to the great prank
I was playing on me.
When I looked for the event details today
I saw how all the connections connected
and the showgirls showed up
yesterday.

Good one, Jon.
I really got you
– I mean me –
I mean Jon.
I missed my event
but at least I have
all of these laughs
for all the rest of my days.
