The Little Things

Why does a potato peeler 

Always stay so sharp?

It\'s a thought that keeps me up

I ponder on this throughout the night 

And then it leaves me tired for work

And who discovered the milk from cows?

And what was he doing at the time?!

I\'ll drink a pint of the creamy white stuff

Until this thought, then i\'m not so fine.

And where does the left sock stealthily go?

Or maybe it is the right?

We all know they come in pairs 

Until one hops out of sight

And lets not get started on the hide and seek keys

The greatest game of all

Those little tricksters disappear

When you need them most of all

You see when it comes down to it

In this modern world we\'ve made

There\'s some things you can\'t explain 

And it\'s meant to be that way

Because a little bit of mystery 

Is needed by one and all 

It helps us realise that actually

We are all a bunch of fools
