1 set of keys. Ordinary type - with a keyless entry and a small metal vial thingy. If you see them, please send them home right away.
Dear keys,
I'm not sure what I did to offend you. I promise not to say those things ever again. The clapper may have sounded cool, but it'll never replace you. really. no really, I mean it. I miss you. where are you? Am I destined to spend a lifetime with your silly little brother, the "valet" key? (even though it does have glow in the dark keychains, I promise it's not anywhere near as cool as you are - heck, I'll even give you one of the glow in the dark keychains.) just come back. I really would like to see you again. I have a special place, er I mean hook for you all set out. But I need to find you so that I can get inside to that hook, where I can put you with all kinds of ceremonious pomp if you like. Maybe I'll even write a song for you- or a sonet. What will it take to get you back? I've looked everywhere. Please tell me you're not hanging out with that trashy bag I tossed out. You know what they say about that kind of company. It'll take you places you don't want to go. So please, come home. please?

Dear David,
ReplyDeleteI just needed some time to myself. I was feeling so used and unappreciated. But maybe if the sonnet is a good one, I'll consider coming home.
-Your keys
David - seriously - I'm all keyed up! I mean - one of the key moments in my life is hanging around with you and your new friend. But this is key - please note: I am where you left me! That's a clue!
ReplyDeleteSincerely, Forlorn but not forgotten keys
I know I left you somewhere important - somewhere obvious, where I would never forget you. I promise.... I will come back for you!

I've been thinking, and I decided I'll make you a deal. If I can have one of brother's glow-in-the-dark keychains, I'll come back. I was always jealous of those things. Howcome the younger sibling always gets the good stuff? I mean, I'm the one doing most of the work, here! All he does is sit around most of the time, only to show his face when you're going somewhere cool. Honestly.
ReplyDeleteSo. Do we have a deal?
-Your keys
Welcome home my dear keys. So good to have you back.
ReplyDeleteKeys, you just really don't know how much you are loved! When you are lost our lives stand still. If only you could witness the panic and sense of abandonment we have when you are not there. Thank you for coming back!
