Some little sprite? Why can’t it work as smooth when I lose my keys? The memory room operator could use some training Written: 7-16-2019 Mini Verse Poetry Contest 2nd Place Sponsor: Nina Parmenter

It started out so much longer in length, but was easy to get to the heart of it...whose in control, anyway? not me! So glad you saw the humor I was after.
