The Key

Last December, I had my birthday celebration, It was so much fun that I forgot to use my walking cane, At the end, all the leftover food must be dumped, Even cake and sweets must be parted with pain. Next morning, I must return the hall keys, I looked in the drawer where I put my keys, Looked inside and outside the car for any clue, There was no clue for the missing key. I called hall in charge, She said there is $1000 penalty for lost keys, I would go to other functions in night, And ask if anyone had the hall keys in sight. With the key lost, all the sweet memories were turning sour, I emailed all the participants if they had an extra key, No one replied, I was planning to get a loan to pay the fine, When I was ready to go out, I saw something under a standing lamp, Its brass base was like the color of key, The key was there, hoping someone would find it there.
