It’s normal to lose things
But the janitor and the librarian are the kings of losing things
They’d search in the sea and Beijing
Normally they’d also sing,
“I would like to search things only in spring
Because it is the best time to search things.”
So they went to outer space with wings,
They also went to a cat’s stomach with slings;
And will try everything,
Also will do printing
Posters of everything
Of things they lost and slings they lost.
One day they saw their things,
Hidden with an animal with wings;
Had a sharp eye and loved to collect things,
It was a crow, and crows love shiny things,
Like rings and other shiny things.
They did not shoo the crow away because it’s terrifying,
So they had to act fast to get their things.
They tied the crow with strings,
And go get all of their things.
Also free, the crow who was in strings
Began to sing:
“I will try harder and smarter to search my things and slings.”

Hi, my name is Nesdeline Ducusin! You can call me Dela for short. I live in the Philippines. My hobbies are reading, drawing, and dancing ballet, but my top favorite hobby is reading. I started reading when my sister pleaded, and as I started, I enjoyed it. I started to collect many, many books till our bookshelf no longer fit them. This is my second time making a poem. The first one I made is Adventures in My Dreams.
