The Lost Pen

Where is it?
Buried in a book and paper hoard
Or hiding under the keyboard?
Where is my pen?

Where is it?
Laying on the endless floor
Or under a sofa scarred by the cat’s claw?
Where is my pen?

Where is it?
Imprisoned by a hot-tempered radiator before reaching the ground
Or in the belly of a sleeping hound?
Where is my pen?

Here it is!
Lurking in my charcoal pocket,
The last place I thought to look!
Here is my pen!
