I tend to lose things

all the time

something that was right there

in plain sight

is now missing

it's not where I put it

I can remember seeing it

now it has vanished

I can see it in my mind's eye

I know where I left it

but someone must have taken it

or moved it as a joke

I blame the wife

she says she never saw it

didn't do it

I search high and low

dig through drawers

retrace my tracks

then in disgust I walk back into the room

and there it is

now I know for sure

someone is playing tricks on me

trying to make me think that I am crazy

it 's not funny

I don't appreciate the joke

I will be watching from now on

as soon as I find my glasses.
