Misplacing Things
What if a bee forgot how to sting?
Is a choirboy not able to sing?
Can birds fly without flapping each wing?
Why is it that you are losing everything?
You lose things here. You lose things there.
You are losing things everywhere.
It all seems like a terrible waste
whenever possessions of yours are misplaced.
I’m sure what you’re looking for can be found.
It just takes so much effort to look around.
All your upbringing appears to be shoddy.
You would lose your head if it wasn’t attached to your body.
