Parts of Me

Missing: One Life

Excuse me, I seem to have lost a life

I had it in my hands.

But now it’s gone and I’m in strife

I might’ve dropped it in one of many lands.

I first became aware of its absence

In Maypolewood (where marshes are)

At first I panicked, then I thought,

Maybe I’ve left it in Engeldar.

Engeldar (as you well know)

Is a cunning mess of maze.

I could not find my way around,

And left there in a daze.

Murtleford I next journeyed to;

Seaside town where mermaids reside

But I still could not find my life,

I began to feel forlorn; a single tear I cried.

So I beg you, if you’ve seen my life:

(It’s radiant, and shines like gold)

Please let me know; there’s a reward,

For now my heart is stony cold.
