The flashlight has gone missing.
This is irritating. It is not where last 
I left it.
Apparently, the thing has grown legs.
Or the winkers have made off with it.
Probably the latter.
This used to drive me mad. The missing flashlight.
These days, I just remember what Lew Welch said, in his poem “Difficulty Along The Way.”
Seeking Perfect Total Enlightenment
is looking for a flashlight
when all you need the flashlight for
is to find your flashlight

This concept also applies to eyeglasses.
Yes. Exactly.
I recently found my eyeglasses, which I had carefully left in a drawer so the cats would not move them around. I pinned a note on the wall to remind myself that the eyeglasses were in the drawer.
Unfortunately, I could not read the note. Fortunately, I eventually remembered that the eyeglasses were in the drawer.
Now, all I have to do is get in the habit of leaving the eyeglasses in the drawer and all will be well. Sure, I could buy new eyeglasses, but where would be the challenge in that?
What about one of those chain deals where the spectacles hang around your neck, when not on your nose? Then, when not on your body, you could hang them on a hook driven into the wall at a level too high for the cats.
Speaking of Parliament/Funkadelic,…
Didn’t seem right to talk about them without laying down the groove, so here you go : )
Ha! Apt one. ; )
