My Recollectest Thoughts

My recollectest thoughts are those
      Which I remember yet;
  And bearing on, as you’d suppose,
      The things I don’t forget.

But my resemblest thoughts are less
      Alike than they should be;
  A state of things, as you’ll confess,
      You very seldom see.

And yet the mostest thought I love
      Is what no one believes—
  That I’m the sole survivor of
      The famous Forty Thieves!

Charles E. Carry.
