Writing 101: Day 16 – “Found”

I’ve found it at last
It was lost but now found
And that’s good – it’s quite a relief
For despite all the hunting
In the obvious places
It was gone, such was my belief
Perhaps I had binned it
Or filed it away
To be found many years down the line
And puzzled over
By some other person
As to misdemeanour or crime
I thought I had slipped it
Inside a newspaper
Or a magazine in my bag
But having been through them
All several times
I’d not found it such was the drag
Given up then I had
A mystery to me
No clues had I where it lay
Until quite by chance
I happened on it
Right at the end of the day
So I’ve found it at last
I’m at peace once again
The niggling worry is gone
I’ll be off now to home
No more work for me
Now all the searching is done
