Forgotten Face

Some faces launch a thousand ships Your voage never left Nothing to do with looks rather You never passed the identity test Some we have never met before Feelings of deja-vu still abound Some have met you 13 times or more Requests of verification still confound Our computer drew a blank Scouring your name age and rank Dreams of recognition sank All the gigs of cyberspace Trawling all our database Could not recall the make-up of your face Every time you meet new people Recognition is misplaced They proclain from every steeple Here lies the forgotton face.
