no feedback as such
i'd remove the [once] at the start of each stanza, i'd also consider removing the [because that's what is was about] phrase as it reads as trite. i liked that it left me thinking of things like suicide or death, questioning why these things were forgotten. i would have liked to see it tied to something solid though
thanks for the read.

He called it "The Vanishing Donut", because that's what it was about.
That was the year he gave his older brother a lime for Christmas (which cost him thirty seven cents),
and told him it was to help him quit smoking (he could eat limes instead).
Once he wrote a poem about Karl Rove molesting a goat.
It was called "Karl Rove is a Goat Molester", because that's what it was about.
That was the year he read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower",
and voted for Ron Paul.
He didn't give anything to anyone for Christmas that year.
Once he wrote a novel about failure.
He called it "My Life is a Failure", because he thought that sounded like a catchy title.
That was the year he gave everything he owned to his wife and daughter for Christmas,
and he gave himself fifty sleeping pills and a bottle of Jack Daniels.
