Lost Keys

I lose my keys so often. Or rather the keys misplace themselves. Well there are four keys bunched together so that I can find them all together. But the fact is, I never find them when I want to. Whats the use of the keys if I find them when I do not want them and do not find them when I want them. I wonder where my keys hide when I go looking hard for them. So often I have marked a place for them to be put. And these naughty keys they run away the moment I turn my back on them. This leaves me aghast, as I pull all my drawers, comb through each items and sigh! But I manage to find them at last. Sometimes, they have managed to hide in the Bathroom. Cheekily perched on the hook where I hang my clothes. Sometimes, they are snoring quietly in the same drawer I have had checked thrice only to be found on the fourth attempt.

Linus has also had to pitch in at times for the key hunt. This is the only couple game where he can do wonderfully well. He always manages to find them for me. Well, almost always. He finds my spects for me, when they follow the keys and lose themselves midway. And how on earth am I supposed to look for my spects without them sitting on my nose. And when Linus is not with me, as is the case now... I quietly pop in my pair of contact lenses. This makes me think, could I own contact keys. I do not know what they are like, but some day someone could invent them. :)

Well, often I have thought if keys were like cell phones. Then you could call your number and it would ring and you could run across and find them. You got it right, I lose my mobile too. But mobiles are smart guys, they find  me... They ring out and clammer for attention.

Okay, I dont have good rapport with my keys, or my spects (which I urgently need to replace with a new pair) and well my cell phone (which happens to be a newbie :) ) but well I keep looking after them...err.. looking for them.

Sigh**

Wish I could go hide myself and then see how my bunch of keys would fare looking for me.
