Losing Things

Today I thought I lost my keys

And knowing what’s at stake,

I searched like crazy, but my husband

Took them by mistake.

 

An hour later, for a class

Of quilting, I was stopped

When my ruler disappeared

Until I noticed it had dropped.

 

The class complete, I headed

For a shady bench outside

To write my poem, but where’s

My favorite pencil gone to hide?

 

It isn’t in my bag

And always has a sharpened point.

I looked in each compartment;

Now I’m really out of joint.

 

A day like this with many things

I cannot seem to find

Makes me hope it’s not a warning

I’m about to lose my mind.
