Lost My Voice
Lost my Voice
When I woke up this morning,
I found my voice had gone.
It wasn’t where I left it,
Something, was obviously wrong.
I looked under my pillow
and I looked under the sheet,
No, not on my set of draws,
What a mystery complete.
Not beside the soaking glass,
Where I keep my teeth,
No sign of it by the cupboard,
Or anywhere underneath.
It may be in the Kitchen,
Or dropped on the bathroom floor,
I need to find it desperately,
So that I can holler or roar.
Please don’t ask no questions,
Because I can’t tell no lies.
I could always speak in semaphore,
Or scribble down my replies.
Just as I started to worry,
My voice came back to me,
It was exactly where I left it,
How silly could anyone be.
