Where's My Glasses?...Poem...Really Goooooooooood!

Where's My Glasses?

I looked under the couch cushions
And every other place twice
Where did I put my glasses, I sigh
And continued to hunt again thrice

A movie is on I want to see
Oh, where could those darn things be
I tire of looking in the same old place
But the last is where they'll be

The show is over and I'm still searching
I begin to feel red in the face
My nostrils are starting to flare and snort
Those glasses seem not in this place

I start to point a finger
I blame whoever I can
This is irking me madly
It's like they had legs and ran

I stop searching for awhile
Wondering thoughts, race my mind
Maybe I left them somewhere outside
As I headed and moseyed on blind

I know those glasses are around this house
I rummage through garbage and junk
I'm just about ready to scream and shout
And now I smell like a skunk

Someone knocks upon my door
I don't really want company
I need to find my glasses real soon
This is causing my agony

I opened the door and there stood my friend
He could see I was in a huff
"Help me to find my focusing glasses"
His cigarette he took a puff

"Your glasses ay, than, retract your steps"
"But, I've searched and looked everywhere"
"There's one place you didn't look my friend
and they are sitting right there"

"Right where," I heard myself blurt out
"Stop fooling and tell me instead"
"Have you no clue, they're right on you
you'll find them upon your head"

i wrote that poem in grade 5

You didn't write this one in grade 5!

I wrote this poem a few months ago, and I have all the original copies. It's not impossible that you wrote one like it back then, but it wouldn't have been this one! I'm a poet and all my poetry including this one is published on the net.

Oh, by the way I meant to mention I went to General Brock high school, I'm wondering if it is now a university. I was raised in Burlington Ontario and later moved to Hamilton. You say you go to Brock university, that's interesting. Is Brock university near Stony Creek? or where is it?

[Gurrb]

st catharines, so sort of near stoney creek.

Where's My Glasses?

I sent this poem in to a magazine, won't hear anything until August 31.

I think I'll rewrite my book The Contemplations of Foresta Gump and compile it into a trilogy of short stories/poetry/? the last will be the best!

I lost my first book attempt to Lulu.com, once I was in their system I was locked in. I couldn't go back to retrieve my work once I entered their studio. I had been working on this book for 4 years only to lose it to their inferior system.
