THE BIG HUNT

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

I search high, I look low.

Where did my damn glasses go?

They aren’t here or over there.

I can’t find them anywhere.

Not on the couch or near the stove.

I’ve been home, did not rove!

Not by the sink, under the bed.

Well look at that! They’re on my head!

      1. I always liked this song which is about a man who tries to find a place to hide along with his girlfriend because they are being pursued. His girl was being harassed by some unknown people who were cruel to her for some unknown reason. There is no happy ending in this song, as they remained paranoid and kept on searching for that place where nobody would bother or persecute them.

      2. In my case, I got glasses in fourth grade, “only to see the board,” my mother admonished me. Trouble was, I kept leaving them at home. I started wearing them all the time, no matter how much Mom complained, and never forgot them again…

  14. Since cataract removal, I’ve been Rx glasses free, only need store-bought readers. Thought I’d keep a pair in the living room, my office, by the bed, and in the bathroom. So used to wearing glasses, I keep forgetting to remove them whenever I relocate, & recently I sat down on the couch wearing my office pair only to discover the LR and bedroom pairs already waiting for me on the end table. Oy.
    Now I just wear one pair on a string around my neck. If only I could remember to take them off once in a while, maybe I could actually see what I’m looking at….
