Lost and (not) Found!!!



I lost my precious golden pen
God knows where!
And started looking for it
Here and there;
Ah! What’s that gleaming  
Under the cupboard?
Gotcha! Phew! Oh!
Hang on; it’s not my pen
But my long-lost bracelet!

I lost my wallet, maybe just
Misplaced! Didn’t I pay the
‘dhoodhwala’ this morning?
Ah! I rushed into the hall,
Ran toward the window-sill!
Wow! I see it there! But------Oh!
It’s the note-pad I’d been missing
Since last Thursday!

I lost my two-wheeler keys; oh where
Could I have left them? Think, think,
My little beauty, your memory’s good
Though a bit rusty now and then!
I KNOW! It ought to be
Somewhere near the fridge!
Wasn’t I putting the veggies in?
Of course, it’s here! Right on top!
The ‘designer watch’ I thought I’d lost!

I lost my ring, the one mom gave
A lovely gift on my B’day last! Come on
Girl! You left it in the washroom; As you
Had to zoom in and out of the shower!    
Here I’m; now where is it? Wow! It’s shining
Reflection, in the mirror I see! But no,
It’s only the shirt button that went missing
Sometime ago!


Damn it! I couldn’t fall out of this habit; of losing
Odds and ends; As if it’s a routine, a ritual! And
I couldn’t do anything about this pattern, of
Finding something else each time!
God help me! I don’t lose my mind; lest
It never comes back in time! Sanity, may be
A different aspect; but sense? Oh! Is
A must-have; for how else will I know
Which part of me is the craziest?!!!
