I have a melody in mind for this but I'm not in a position to record it at the moment. Somehow that seems appropriate.
EDIT: I was able to post it after all.
I was going to post a song
But I lost it
Not too short and not too long
But I lost it
Best song that I ever wrote
Not a single sour note
Now I feel just like a goat
'Cause I lost it.
It had a melody so sweet
But I lost it
The words all fit the beat
But I lost it
It could easily have been
A product of the pen
Of a Porter or Berlin
But I lost it
It was unike any other
And I lost it
There's no time to write another
'Cause I lost it
Full of wordplay, full of wit
It was sure to be a hit
And boy do I feel like a fool
'Cause I lost it

I sure know this feeling. I like your Gilbert and Sullivan-y meets a Hole in the Bucket feel.

Oh this made me so happy after getting a few tear jerkers in this skirmish! Definitely made me chuckle a few times. Not being able to record it would of been appropriate, but I'm glad I got to hear it LOL. Do remember to archive your page in the next few weeks so you don't lose this gem too!

I'm gonna tell everybody that next time I lose a recording as 90% of the time I'm not writing any lyrics down.

@andrea Feb 2022
This is fun and humorous! What a great take on the prompt. Well done!
@kerriwinter Feb 2022
glad you were able to post, love the take on the theme and relate SO HARD (I imagine any songwriter can!)

Oh I can totally relate! That happens way too much and you capture so well. Wonderful flow and cadence!
