What became of the needle I had in my hand
When I picked up the spool to thread it?
It seems to have vanished into thin air
But that explanation I can't credit.

How does my thimble disappear
From the basket where it was laid?
I haven't heard it rolling 'round on the floor
As it did when the cats with it played.

What did I do with that fabric I need
That I had just an hour ago?
I put it away, but in what place?
It's somewhere that it doesn't show.

The magazine with the pattern I liked
Was right on top of that pile.
I guess it's sunk, but how far down
In such a little while?

I know that book went back on its shelf
And should be with books of its kind.
But I just can't find it, though I've looked five times.
Can it be that I'm going blind?

It's a very good thing that my sewing machine
Is something that's too big to hide.
Not being able to find something as big as that
Would really humble my pride.

I don't know why things I know that I had
Disappear when I put them away..
I find it annoying but I very much fear
It's a problem that's her to stay.

Gald you are back Deb, I think you are talking about me. I just put things away to good. Then find them when I don't need them.
