9424. I INVENTED SOMETHING, BUT FORGET WHAT IT WAS

I INVENTED SOMETHING, BUT
FORGET WHAT IT WAS
They say that fame is fleeting, and
I guess I've found that out. Was it light?
Or maybe fire? I forget. It wasn't kitchen
utensils, for I think they were out already,
but  -  then again  -  if there wasn't any fire
first than how could that have been? Or,
well, perhaps it was the round wheel? I
do remember those first ones I used to
see were square, and made for a very 
bumpy ride for carts and people, leaving
many quite unhappy. And vocal about it. 
Hey! Maybe it was cursing I invented.
Damn, I forget that too. Well, anyway,
I know it was something, and long ago.
