Ode To An Absent-Minded Husband
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Your umbrella can not have gone far.
Can’t believe how forgetful you are!
If we still had each cent
On umbrellas you’ve spent,
We’d have cash to put gas in our car.
Note: My otherwise wonderful husband has lost so many umbrellas over the years, our umbrella fund could actually gas up at least a dozen cars … even at today’s prices.
Thanks to Simply Snickers for the “umbrella” prompt, Weekend Wordsmith for the “torrential rain” prompt, and Sunday Scribblings for its “family” prompt.

Really cute and cleverly done. In my family, however, I’m the absent-minded one, and gloves and mittens are what I scatter around the map - either singly or in pairs.

Car keys are my downfall. I have to have spare ones all over the house, in the garden and even taped under the car itsef!
