Someone Stole My Rowboat!!!!!!!

I hope I’m alive
In ten years time
When friends share posts
About Gus’s boat
Concerned it’s missing and “oh what a shame
That someone could steal such a dear thing
And pass it along, let’s find this boat!”
Not realizing of course it’s old-time news
In fact, by then, a one-score old
Twenty year memory algorithmically refreshed anew
Like some dementia-addled brain
Insisting that the past is now
