Did I ever say how happy I am,
every time I come home, and you greet me?
When I’m tired and sleepy after a long day,
you always salute me
Sometimes I don’t greet back so apologies
I just crash on the sofa, tired and leave you
Purposeless. Lonely. Blue
But I come back up and always greet you too
And give you what you're due
The keys to my kingdom, you deserve it all
But in lieu
Continue to guard my throne
By reminding me to never leave home
Without the keys. I must reach out and seize
So I can come back to you by any means
-
Before you came into my life I was lost
Mind wires often crossed
Leaving my keys in all sorts
of places. In my trousers sometimes
Or in the sofa crevices and chastise
My forgetful self
And then I would go delve
Into a frantic search for my keys
But it never comes with ease
A million places they could be
So small and fragile they be
That finding them is a feat
Most impossible in my time of need
So, I end up late to work
But then I discovered you
And thought all my problems are in the rear-view
Because ever since I installed you
I’ve never looked back.
Thank you, Hook.

What a great ode!!!!!
This is great. Something so simple can be so helpful. Well done
This is so sweet, you attached enough emotion right away that I was a little cross with you for ignoring your lovely hook and leaving it purposeless, lonely, and blue.
Okay, I'm officially hooked by this. Delightful little ode to the nemesis of Peter Pan (or is that the wrong Hook?).
This is definitely among the top challenge entries I've read.
You really brought to life the humble key hook. I love the emotion, experience and attachment you give to such a small accessory that is taken for granted. Nice entry for the challenge!
