dropped the ring at a bar called ontario
could NOT find it and was pretty sad
kept digging through my bag like a maniac

not sure anyone noticed
yet
everyone did?

i eventually spotted it
around the tree stump table
’tween two rubber boots of a nerd

snatched it nonchalantly
which is to say
yawnstretcharmout
leanswipesnatch
zomgmyprecious
illneverletyougo

my lady love, my babe, my one and only got me this
impossible to return home without it
come hell or high water

tho if it’s all the same to you
please hold that high water
just hell for me thanksverymuch.
