MISSING GLASSES​

​

Mr Hilary looks most crossed:
“My goodness, my glasses appear to be lost!”

​

Checking his coat, in both his shoes,
he thinks: “This loss cannot be true!”

​

He turns his wardrobe upside down,
still the glasses can't be found. 

​

“Ah, what horror, I can't believe
this isn't the work of a master thief!”

​

On the sofa, and below it, 
no, this loss, he can't allow it!

​

He looks up, and left, and right, 
but just cannot regain his sight. 

​

Maybe they're under the floor?
Maybe it's time to call in the law?  

​

In, on, under, beside his desk,
he looks everywhere, no less!

​

The drawers empty, as are the cupboards,
still, he must find them, on the double!

​

But it's the mirror which holds a surprise,
Mr Hilary can't believe his eyes.

​

Then he turns bright red, because 
His glasses were hiding upon his nose!
