Cant Keep An Umbrella

I live in a family
who can't keep an umbrella
a flashlight
flour
superglue
post its
ink cartridges
ice cubes
ice cream cones

who can't find
checkbooks
gift cards
phone cords
appt reminders

who never has
extra cash
maps
penny rolls 
the doctors number
the date of surgery
a camera

so we're always
wet 
hungry
cold
late 
early
lost
behind
thirsty

So do I, Veronica, but now they're grown up, I only annoy myself!
