    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.
