Hiding Place
by

What's happened to my coffee cup?
I search each room; I'll not give up—
I know I put it someplace near;
so how could it just disappear?
I stomp and stew! I rant and rave!
Who hid it in the microwave?

Cornelius Farrell Kelly lives in Pinedale, Wyoming, with his wife of 60+ years, in a house they built with the help of their ten children at an altitude of 7300 feet above sea level. The author of eight chapbooks and two published books, he writes a rhyming couplet every morning and posts it on his Facebook page. Cork is a competitive senior swimmer (he says he frequently gets ideas for a poem while swimming).

My hand is raised high. Funny, and so true.

Loved this charming little rhyme. My husband and I always say little gremlins come in at night and rearrange our things and that's why he can't find anything the next morning.

I'm still searching for my car keys. Good job, most of us have been there in one form or another.

I've been there, done that -- many times, in fact. Thanks for the reminder.

Hahahahaha!!! I searched for my Swiffer mop the other day for fifteen minutes and it was lying across my un-made bed. What led me to put it there, I'll never know. Would have been worse if I had slept with it! Great poem.

This reminds me of the way in which I search for my reading glasses. Universal subject.
