Lost Keys

I seem to have misplaced my keys
Could you help me find them please?

They’re not in the house, not in the car
I’ve even looked in my guitar 

It’s as if they’ve gone, in a big black hole
No, I don’t do parties where they go in a bowl.

Would they, could they be with the remote?
Nope just bloody found that in my coat.

I’ve retrieved socks and toys, some hair ties too,
I think I’m desperate, now my hands in the loo

Maybe they might be, inside the cat
Two ticks with a knife we’ll soon check that.

I’ve just found my credit card, under the bed
What was the wifes bra doing out in the shed?

I must be suffering, from some mental block
Oh what a dork I am, there they are in the lock

Right I’m running late, time to leave home
Now, just where did I, leave my phone?

If you happen to be going through my poems I will warn you that my creative genius has a wee bit to be desired! Some are good others not so, I mix up between serious, fun, philosophical and commentary. You might not always get a laugh. Cheers mate I appreciate the comment kind sir. ; )

Well written you certainly had my attention reading the poem. Your words definitely had a sense of urgency. About your wife's bra in the shed? Any news?

They're similar to a spinnaker, They must have been caught in a warm breeze ; )

Haven't you been there? I go through phases where my musings take me to irrelevant/irreverent places. Good to laugh at ones self sometimes
