Dear Mr. Post-It Note

I have so many to-do lists that my table is filled with post-it notes! This reminded me of my poem I write one year ago for the PAS poetry contest... (I submitted a longer version of the ode, but I actually like the short version more)


Dear Old Mr. Post-It Note

This is an ode to Post it Notes,

To its red yellow and blue.

It brightens up my table,

So it not a monotonous hue.

It is the best of reminders:

Bring this, take that, and any to-dos,

Scribble it on a post-it,

And there’s nothing you will loose!

This is an ode to post it notes.

Something we take for granted.

But life would not be easy,

If they were never created.

The very first post-it was a basic yellow square,

But now there are quite a few variations.

Choose the right size and color

To make your very own creation!

So dear old Mr. Posit-it Note,

Thank you for being there,

Even when too often I don’t see

The value of that square.

Oh my, oh my post it notes

Please do not leave me

For I’m a forgetful person,

As many would agree.
