Walking home from a long day at school
I try to open my front door, but it is locked.
I forgot my house key.
Again.
As I sit on my front porch,
I spot a shimmer coming from the lawn.
Picking it up, I realize it's a simple key.
My mind starts to wander.
Maybe it unlocks secrets like:
Royal diaries!
Secret passages!
Unworldly treasures!
Oh, just think of the possibilities!
Snapping back into reality,
What does this key really unlock?
It looks familiar.
Maybe I recognize it from a former life?!
Oh, don't I wish.
Wait a second.
I just remembered what this key goes to.
It's my house key!
Aw man!
And just when I was getting my hopes up, too!
