Lost to Memory

I just kinda know these things.
And what these things mean.
And sometimes even 'why'
These things appear when they do.

I know you're not about to ask for an explanation?
And you expect an answer.

'What has been said about expectations? '

Is this a pop quiz?
Or a seriously graded test?
If I knew that,
I'd leave you with a sample of my DNA!

And...
I'm not trying to be accused of knowing too much,
Anyway.
I often thought that those who showed they knew too much...
Were often 'expected' to be accountable.
With much given responsibility.
I can do that...
But why announce it?

I just kinda know these things.
And what these things mean.
And sometimes even 'why'
These things appear when they do.
I guess that's the easier way to get things done...
Just do them!
They will soon be lost to memory anyway!
