I Lost It

I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.

 I LOST IT

 

I lost my wallet.

I lost my phone.

I’ll never get back,

The money I’ve blown.

 

I lost my car.

I lost my keys

I lost my glasses,

Now I can’t see.

 

I lost my dog.

I lost my cat.

I lost my cane.

I lost my hat.

 

I lost my shirt.

I lost my shoes.

What can I say,

I lose what I use.

 

I’ve lost so much,

I’ve lost all track.

Even my boomerang….

Didn’t come back.

You're a hoot. And the moment you give up on that boomerang, whack it's back.

Cleverly concocted and quite delightful, Michael. Also, I can relate. Love and peace,

You may be losing it. Losing your "shirt" can be a real setback. But that boomerang was good luck, because it didn't come back and clip you in the head!

Every time you outdo yourself, especially like that last stanza, wrapping it up so well!

Nice touch with the boomerang. I cannot find my cell phone at least 3x a week. Eventually, I always find it. I found where I put it the last time I put it there. OK LOL

The boomerang the ultimate loss. Yes, how we lose things that are irreplaceable, phone, phone numbers etc. What a curse.

Last two lines put an exclamation point to this one.
