I lost my slippers when the dinosaurs in my closet devoured them in one big gulp.
I lost my wisdom when the dentist aimed the jackhammer at my mouth.
I lost the clouds I kept locked in my jewelry box.
I lost my pencil when it got lost in the snarled brown jungle.
I lost my heart to a dragon when it trapped me in his cave and his fiery breath singed my hair.
I lost my tongue when I tried to speak Japanese and it became hopelessly tangled in one big knot.
I lost my laugh when a ghost swooped down and sucked it out with a straw.
I lost my breath when Prince Charming graced me with his presence in his golden chariot built from books.
I lost the sunshine after a flock of guffawing blackbirds danced in the sky.
I lost my index finger when a hungry alligator snapped it off in one bite.

I found my inspiration tucked behind a stack of stale ideas and old books in my brain.
I found the perfect shade of blue to drain from the sky to dye my hair.
I found a dream wound up tightly inside a ball of yarn.
I found a word spun in silken thread oozing from a sewing machine.
I found my laugh when I opened the treasure chest sunk in the bottom of the ocean.
I found my flowers packed into a platinum teapot.
I found a chair after roller-skating for three hours with a herd of pink elephants.
I found a loose page stuffed along the grapevine.
I found a handful of diamonds buried in a sandbox beside a pile of dinosaur bones.
I found my heart taped to a page torn from my Playful Purple diary.
A nonsensical poem based on the phrase "Lost and Found."
