The small gap between school chairs

Is large enough to lose anything

And when you look under,

You can find all sorts of things

A pencil or two that no one uses

Some coins that slipped out of your wallet

Pieces of paper from all sorts of classes

Or even the ring that you cried about losing

It could be a quick note you had scribbled

Reminding you of a task

It may have been an entire notebook

That had all your notes and schedules written down

Let's hope that it wasn’t something important

Like your phone or your ipad

And surely not the whole book

That has the task you were asked to do

Whatever object it was,

one thing is certain

That you forgot about it as soon as

it fell between the chairs
