Oh mother, where are your laces?
What on earth have you done to your shoes?
I've searched in so many places,
How many pairs can you lose?
I've located a missing umbrella,
A hat, three socks, and your lunch,
I've risked catching salmonella,
When I reached down the bog on a hunch,
I even dared pull out the wardrobe,
Behind which you stash all your treasures,
But a glance told me though I'm no germ phobe
I'd be forced to take desperate measures,
So I called for the dog, who's less fussy,
And I pointed her into the gap,
She looked, but recoiled, and thus she,
Shook your laces right into my lap!
Relief was only short lived though,
And now I must try not to holler,
If your laces were draped round the dog's neck,
What the heck have you done with her collar?!!!
