I Lost My Phone....Again

Dedicate to my granddaughter, who's always losing her phone.

  LOST MY PHONE….AGAIN

 

I lost my phone again,

I know not where it’s at.

I’ve looked everywhere,

Through this and that.

 

I used another phone,

And made a call to myself.

But not a ring was heard,

My phone’s not on a shelf.

 

I swear it was there,

Just a minute ago.

But where it’s at now,

Nobody knows.

 

I’ve looked in every room.

Left nothing unturned.

This happens all the time,

Is there nothing I’ve learned?

 

I need my phone.

I need it bad.

My thumbs are anxious.

I’m feeling sad.

 

What will I do,

If I can’t find my phone?

Will I end up,

Facing the world on my own?

 

I’ve searched and searched,

Till I’ve run out of breath.

Losing my phone,

Is a fate worse than death.

 

Wait…Never mind, I found it,

So now I’m just fine.

I put it in the wrong pocket,

It was there all this time.

Too funny, Michael. It's like me looking for my glasses yesterday... ... until I realized I was wearing them. Lol!!! Also, I recently got my first cell (mobile smartphone android thing) ever. I've never owned a cell phone before. I suspect I may soon share in this adventure of yours. Well done! Love and peace,

Regis

Best wishes,

Hey, I thought I was the King of the lost ring thing!
I used to lose my phone every day!
Sometimes it falls under the car seat or so they say...
Other times it slithers into the restaurant bathroom out of sight!
Then it goes into the cat's sleeping area. that's just not right!
What would that ball of fur doing with a cell phone?
I guess she is from another planet like an ET calling home!

This daze my cell phone has a waterproof jacket and a lanyard on a ring
It also has a finder device so when it's lost it makes a loud ding!
The lanyard is a bright color and helps identify the phone under a seat
The finder device is great because the phone gets lost about every week!

Even with these high tech gadgets my cell still gets lost some way!
So what can I say?
Like a pup where as soon as I go somewhere it hides and goes the other way! LOL

The story of my life. My favorite is searching for my glasses when they're sitting right on top of my head.

That's about right. I lose "something" every day right here in this room!

A familiar tune around this house. And I'm not the one singing it!

This certainly has to be a poem for our times.
