Barbara Gorelick Poet Rhyme

Brain Drain

I've lost my keys a million times,
So often that it really seems a crime.
I think it very odd where they turn up,
One time I found them in my coffee cup...

You might think Id keep them in my purse,
But that just makes things so much worse.
That thing resembles a bottomless pit,
Couldn't find nuthin' there I must admit...

They say it's caused by brains that shrivel,
But I gotta think that's just pure drivel.
If so ,today I probably wouldn't be alive,
Since I've been loosing keys since I was 25...!





Why can't I find my keys?
 For the contest..

Doris Culverhouse August 9, 2010 at 11:56 PM put tem in a basket by the door or a hook. I hook mine on my pocket book.

Carolyn Devonshire August 9, 2010 at 6:57 PM I accidently put my bikini in the dryer and the plastic hook melted. Now I bought a new one-piece leopard swimsuit with a black skirt at a consignment shop and it "suits" me just fine. No need for a tent when you're among lady friends. We accept each other just as we are. Love you, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire August 9, 2010 at 6:39 PM LNC, if you think your brain has shriveled, there's not much hope for the rest of us is there. You're one sharp cookie! But please tell me how the keys ended up in a coffee cup. This one I have to hear!. Soup mail. Love, Carolyn
