THE RING:

above is a picture exactly like my engagement 

ring which this poem is about:

 

THE RING:

Yesterday I went food shopping,

For much needed food without fail.

Because on Saturday I have heard

The South Coast has been forecast severe gales.

 

I will be staying indoors,

That there is no doubt.

But when I returned home from the shops

How I wanted to shout.

 

You see my engagement ring,

Was missing from my finger.

I didn't stop for a coffee,

I  for one minute didn't linger.

 

I traced my steps back to the shop,

Eyes glued to the ground.

Hoping to find my ring,

But no such luck I'll be bound.

 

Then I reached the shop,

I asked the cashier,

"Had my ring been handed in,?"

No such luck I fear.

 

I then returned home

Heartbroken I confess.

For on my finger ,

I would be engagement ring less.

 

At my front door,

My heart wanted "To Sing".

For there attached to my keys

Was my beloved ring.

 

How it got there,

Remains a mystery I can tell.

I know my fingers have got thinner,

But alls well that ends well.
