A Key conversation

“Have you seen my keys” I cried

“They’re where you left them”, she replied

“Have you tidied them away?”

“You should have left them in the tray”

“This time I thought I had”

“If you leave them there it’s not so bad.

You do this every single time”

“If I do it’s not a crime

I’ve too much on my mind to note

Every single line you quote”

“A place for every single thing

What happiness that would bring

Can you see which key has gone

And where it was and what it’s on”

“It’s under something of this I’m sure

Now I can’t unlock the door.

Oh, it’s open that’s a shock

And there’s the key still in the lock”
