Object Misplaced

There are times when an object misplaced Is the most pressing problem you've faced For you search and you search But get left in the lurch, All that time you spent searching a waste. If you're lucky, you'll find what's been lost After each pile of stuff had been tossed Yet it's possible that You won't find where it's at With frustration and sadness the cost.

If I don't find it I'm lost. I know it's just one t not crossed. So on I must go because I do know. If I cannot find it, my a.. will be frost. Note: Why do I always end up here with a crass ending? :) lol

I hope its not from personal experience Ilene, its frustrating when you have misplaced something you need, I find retracing your steps helps... or ask hubby they have a habit of putting something 'somewhere safe' lol!:-( hugs Jan xx
