Tell me ..is it just me,
Or do you have this problem to?
You put something down and lose it seconds later.
I am only thirty four too.
Now i know i just had it in my hand.
This arduous search I had not planned.
I know it was just here a minute ago.
Now where is it..I dont flippen know.
I could have swore it was in a safe place.
I usually put things there just in case.
But dang it it wasnt there either.
I even looked where i last sat..not there neither.
Back and forth you pace the floor.
Making yourself crazy until you cant stand it no more.
You sit down in your chair once again.
Wouldnt ya know it, now you remember where you put it and when.
Is my mind playin tricks on me,
Hiding things where my eyes cannot see?
You sware up and down you knew it was there.
People give you shifty looks and smirk to say "we dont care."
Drive yourself crazy if you must
Search your place until your about ready to bust.
I tell you this all you need do is sit down,
And all the information is comes back around.
You wont find it standing up while the memory is sparse
Seems as if the information falls into the arse.
So have you self a seat and let the memory flow.
It reall does fall into your butt you know.
Ask anyone who gets up to get something in a room,
Yet when they got there they cant get it for they forgot to soon.
Somehow they will say when they sit down once again,
Thats when the memory comes a rolling in.

This is cute. A bit too wordy, and with a few spelling/grammatical mistakes, but otherwise, it's pretty funny. Most of the rhyming was A LOT better than in the last poem of yours I just read.
I think it could be revised a bit more; take out some words that really may not be necessary to convey the message.
MORSMORDRE!
