Bifel that, in that sesone, on a day, in Southwerk at the Tabard as I lay, redy to wenden on my pilgrimage to Caunterbury with ful devout corage, At night, there cam into that hostlrye wel nine and twenty in a companye of sondry folk, by aventure yfalle, in felawship, and pilgrims wer they alle, that toward Caunterbury wolden ride. The chambres and the stables weren wide, and wel we weren eased, atte best; But shortly, ere the sunne was to reste, so hadde I spoken with hem evrichon, that I was of hir felawship anon, and made forward early for to rise, to take our way there, as I you shal devyse.

had a friend who had a bad habit of forgetting who she was calling. she would ask who they were and when they told her she would ask if they had a cold because they didn't sound right. I think I'm 68 no problem, the kids will tell next birthday.

Whan that Octobre it's Leaves had shed
That from the gustes of Autumne had falln and flede
Seeking succoure we pilgrimmes did arrive to chatte
within the anciente confines of the Aulde Mudcatte.

annap, it's one thing when you go into a room and can't remember what for but it must be a real bummer for you when you get down to the end of the pier and that happens.
