Things I have'nt brought with me today

I have not brought my seal of zeal this afternoon

As a distant cloud has dulled my mood

Also not with me is my beloved darling

Who has in-fact not been with me for quite sometime

My watch stands still in the glass vessel

On the coffee table

This, the table was too big to put into my folder

However, I did bring my pen but not the lid

As this hampers writing for me

I haven’t brought my CD collection

Which is growing out of all proportion

As these can now be stored onto my MP 3 player

This happens to be plugged into my friend’s ear

And not mine

Alas neither my friend nor his ear

Is here so lend an ear

And spare him a thought.
