Munday on Monday: Winter gloves

Winter gloves

In winter, one item I constantly chase:

The gloves that I’m leaving all over the place.

Perhaps they were left in a cart at the store?

On restaurant table? (I’ve done that before.)

I’ve foolishly placed them on top of the car

(For lapse of a moment, they’ve traveled quite far.)

In theater seat, or in church in a pew?

Come springtime of gloves I’ll be missing a few.

I’d purchased a pair as a spare, which I managed

To lose, as in less than a week they had vanished.

The cost of forgetting, I’ll hereby disclose:

It’s fifteen degrees and my fingers are froze!
