Wanted...Lost Sanity

Has anyone seen my sanity? 
It was right here when I used it last. 
I could have sworn I put it back where it belongs. 
I only had it out for just a minute. 
Not long enough for it to get lost. 
But you know how sly and slippery it can be. 
I really could use it now. 
The last few days have been rough. 
I'll bet that little stinker's hiding out somewhere. 
I've looked in all the closets. 
And under each piece of furniture. 
It's most likely sitting right out in plain sight. 
I'll describe it to you. 
You really can't miss it. 
It looks exactly the opposite of it's evil twin. 
Let me know if you see it won't you? 
I'm perfectly fine without it. 
But everyone else is getting rather desperate.
