I am looking for something of tremendous value that I have lost along the way, my sense of humour.
I have lost many things during my lifetime but this is the one thing I’m desperately looking for.
The thing I miss the most, apart from my mind is my sense of humour! I lost it about nine months ago and I truly miss having it. Should you per chance come across it (it’s a little twisted and totally slapstick and eager to laugh) please return it to me ASAP, I’m lost without it. Laughter is the universal healer after all and I need to lighten up.
There was this one time when I thought I’d lost my Sixth Sense because after watching the movie I still couldn’t see dead people! Eye sea dumb peepel, but not dead peepel!
When I lost my glasses I looked for them everywhere. They were everywhere or else I would have found them, don’t you think? So I looked elsewhere, they weren’t there either. No my friend, the trick of the trade is to look for something else that’s lost, like the milk. If you find the milk in your office then it stands to reason that your specs will be in the fridge!
Little did I know how little I knew that time so long ago when I lost my virginity. That’s all I have to say about that!
Now losing my temper is something I seem to be doing a lot lately. The slightest thing sets me off and I throw a major tantrum. My two grandsons were visiting during Ouma’s stay in hospital and one afternoon we went to visit her. Halfway there I received a call to fetch something from the house for MIL. Needless to say I blew my top and when Adi asked why we were turning around I told him that I forgot my oil. Ï am a machine!” I shouted, “A bloody machine that runs on oil. Didn’t you know that?”
The poor kid looked totally confused and after some thought he asked: “What type of oil?” As fast as it had disappeared my sense of humour (which I was looking for, remember?) returned and I burst into much needed laughter.
I have occasionally lost my nerve, my memory but fortunately not my hair. Yet!
Um… um… um… oh shucks, I’ve just lost my train of thought. And there was still so much I wanted to say. You don’t suppose it has anything to do with the launch of the seventh Harry Potter book tonight, do you?
