Where did I leave my glasses?

When did I see them last?
When did I last see with them ?
I’ve lost lots of things,
Scarves, socks, hats, books, even a child.

Not to worry, the kid turned up.
My glasses, not yet.
I visualize a small prosperous village in India.
Whose chief export is replacement pens for me.

How many files have I misplaced,
Some never recovered?
Remember the warehouse in the “Search for the Holy Grail”?
They’ve a large space devoted to my stuff.

I expect to be stopped at the pearly gates.
They’ll want receipts for thousands of hats and ear-muffs.
If lost ideas count, mine might require
A separate storage planet.
