The Keys

Where oh where did I put my keys?

I look all over, on my knees.

 

I lose them often, if you please.

Why oh why do I keep losing these?

 

I lock up things like wine and cheese,

and many kinds of fancy teas,

 

And honey made by honey bees,

and lots of things from overseas.

 

Oh this is an annoying tease.

When I can’t unlock the cabinet. -Wheeze-

 

Please help me put my mind at ease,

OH – here they are! Just shot the breeze.
