I’d be titled Something Always Lost or Broken. I’m supplying the lyrics; the melody is on you. It would go something like this:

Last week I lost your love

The second time around

You’re out there with my other glove

In some store’s lost and found

You’re lost but never found, never found never found

On the subway you go round and round, round and round

My poor lost glove

*************

My new love fell beneath the seat

Those sunglasses mighty fine

I bought them as a treat

And now I have to whine

In someone else’s purse they lie lie lie

While I’m out $300; I cry cry cry

*********

It’s raining hard and hissing

My eyes too are teary

My umbrella has gone missing

Of losing things I’ve grown weary

Nothing missing today – Yea!

But song includes things broken too

Today it’s my coffee maker, grrrr.

And wait, not Comcast too?

***********

And there you have it – my holiday bonus blog post. Faux country songs notwithstanding, I hope the new year restores to you your lost gloves, sunglasses, umbrellas, friendships, and loves. And may your coffee pot and cable connection and especially your health remain whole for yet another 365 days. Happy New Year!
