Marbles

Been scouring the interweb, trying to procure

A simple little gadget that’s available, I’m sure

I’ve never seen one advertised, not even on TV

If you know where they sell them, can you get in touch with me

E bay had some stuff to find a buried treasure chest

But nothing that would help locate, the object of my quest

I need to find one quickly, before mine disappear

To lose them all completely is, by far my greatest fear

Their numbers dwindle daily as more and more abscond

I wish that there was someone who, could wave a magic wand

So, if you see a marble finder, that’s for sale, at any price

Would you kindly let me know, and I will be there in a trice

LOL! Very cute and entertaining! I loved it. I seem to be losing a few of mine as I get older, too. So if you do come across a marble finder, please share with me. Always, Cat
