Ole woodworker's despair

[Ron Altier]

If I stand still, maybe it will show.

I had it in my hand, that much I know.

I walked from over there to over here,

Oh why, Oh why can't I find my gear.

 

If I scan the room  one more time,

I know it will show and once again be mine.

But once again, it doesn't show,

I'm left alone and don't know where to go.

 

Think I'll set down and take a rest,

Cause that's the one thing I do best.

As I slowly descend into that soft ole chair,

I look around again and in slow despair.

 

I guess I didn't need it anyway,

It will certainly show up some day.

As I slowly take a seat,

I find it as-------------- my butt hits the seat. 

 

I did that this morning and thought it would make a good poem for a snicker

Priceless & timeless Ron...

Gonna copy this, paste it into a fancy document and frame and hang it in my work area.

I thought you were writing that for me, maybe me and a few others?

the last place I look is my hands and I usually find it, now I need to look at my hands first but I'll probably forget!

Isn't it interesting that you always find the thing you've lost in the last place you look for it...?

 

Uh, oh...here we go again...

Really? Of course it is in the last place you look, unless you keep looking after you find it

Ssshhhhh...One would think so......who knows what happens on the other side of the gene pool...don't want to completely upset their world, do we...

[Gene Howe]

Not only do I forget where I laid it down, I forget what was....until I need it. Then, age related ADD kicks in and I forget again during the search. 

They say wisdom comes with age. Sometimes, age comes by itself.

Well, of course you keep looking.   Now you recall that you got a second one because you couldn't find the first one and you want to find that one, too.

Glad to know these things happen to others.  Cannot tell you how many times I stop looking for something because I forgot what I was looking for.

I thought you were writing about me, but forgot before I finished reading it.
