My keys, my keys-oh hell where did I leave them now?
Muttering "a place for everything and everything in it's place"
Shaking my purse for the sound of jingling fish
Hearing only the thud of my wallet and the beat of my heart
Grumbling "oh when will I learn" while looking for my plaice
My Keys my keys - oh holy mackrel where did I leave them now?
Muttering "a place for everything and everything in it's place"

From a woman who is always losing keys or forgetting her jacket -- I can totally appreciate this great ittle magpie tale.

Yes, that's the halibut. :-)
ReplyDeleteHoly mackerel, maybe I should put them on my keychain!
ReplyDeleteGood take on the prompt - and just like it really is!
ReplyDeleteyes! Holy mackerel do put them on your keychain just for the halibut...
ReplyDelete(thanks Berowne)
I love the originality and the pun in the last line.
ReplyDeleteClever. And haven't we all had that experience.... where are my KEYS!!
ReplyDeleteSo how cute and fitting is THIS?!? I loved it .... and love the idea of jingling fish as a key ring! Sometimes the jingle of a THOUSAND metal fish aren't enough for those of us who are chronic "key losers". :)
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
Ah ha, very funny, love the plaice and mackerel!!

The bigger the key chain, the harder it is to find! One of those weird twists that life likes to throw at us all! An amusing and home-hitting post!
ReplyDeleteWonderful keychain tale! I can sure relate to this!
ReplyDeleteare you spying on me in the mornings? After 26 years of driving, you'd think I would have a system of where to keep my keys. I do have a system, but my brain and my hands refuse to network. ;-)
ReplyDeletefunny
As my mother always said, "You'd lose your head if it weren't hooked on!"
ReplyDeleteLove the word play. Excellent Magpie.
My mother always said when I would ask her where something was
ReplyDelete"right where you left it" Augh!
I tell myself that I am my worst enemy....
Obviously everything was not in its place! Let me guess...they were in your pocket. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sad life of the chronic key lobsters.
ha. love the holy mackeral line...maybe i need to get some jangling fish so i dont lose my. a unique take on this magpie...
ReplyDeleteI too have prayed to Holy Mackrel, without much luck..have to find a new deity?? Nice Mag..
ReplyDelete....boy do I know the feeling...! Fin-tastic!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, the keys - forever getting lost. My problem is that I usually find them in the car. A locked car. And no spare key on hand! Great post!
ReplyDeleteKathew,
ReplyDeleteOh and hasn't that scene played out too many times to admit! ;)
That was a whale of a tale girl!
rel
very refreshing take on the prompt--great job!
ReplyDeletelol. loved it...If I don't put things in the same place all the time, I go through the same routine. "Where did I put them now?"
ReplyDelete"Holy mackerel" made me giggle. Great magpie!
ReplyDeleteHoly Mackerel. Very clever.
