He could never remember birthdays,
Not his wife’s birthday which was on the 1st of January.
He did not remember his son’s birthday,
Which was on the 31st of January.
Robert could never remember any special day,
He tried his hardest but he forgot it anyway.
Jackie was very good at remembering special days.
It was as if she had a calendar in her head.
She would remember a birthday or anniversary,
The minute she got out of her warm bed.
Jackie had her special visual memory trick,
That helped her recall every special day,
Even when her six children graduated,
When her cat or her dog fell sick.
Do women have the gift to always recall?
Every special day, birthday, and anniversary,
When there is no calendar on the wall?
They always seem to have a secret plan.
Women may be sharper than any man,
They get attached to all the people in their lives.
So, they remember every simple little thing,
Like when she bought a dress and ring.
