three errors

impatient to go

couldn't find my keys

at last found them in my bag

they belong in my right pants pocket.

going down the stairs

i remembered my phone, go back,

unlocked the door, went in, searched

until i found it where it shouldn't be.

while inside i remembered

to check the gas.   i had left it open.

valves were off, ok; but

i close the tank for safety, always.

keys, phone, gas.  ID in my pocket

all was in order.

on the street i stopped,

made note of my errors.

noting errors is not important

remembering to think is.

if i have to make note to

remember to think i will.

when the first baseman

makes three errors

he gets to think about it

while sitting on the bench.

no one has taken me out
i am still in this game
will do the best i can. i believe Yogi
"it's not over 'til it's over."
