Trove

they do have
knobs but 
they don't
help to
open

it is a chest but
not a chest of
drawers since
there is only
one drawer

but no not
a night
stand
not a
one

night stand
yet nevertheless
there she is before
me as i scratch my head
though i know not to use that

to think with
but in fact
i do solve
and come
up with 

an answer as she
sits by my feet
i have the key
to her lock
for she 

yes is a chest
but for sure
a treasure
chest and
more

I like this. My brain liked this, following crumbs.

Thanks Maureen. It's funny you said that. About half way through I felt like I was writing riddle of sorts. Guess who I am?
