Excellent

Truer words were never spoken. I got a laugh out of this, so you succeeded in the humor requirement. You look pretty young, so wait...there's so much more to come. Great job.

Thank you so much, Linda! I'm thrilled you liked it. I must admit, I'm a bit relieved to know how common this conundrum is...

Excellent

Are you sure? This certainly sounds like me!
If I had a nickel for every time I searched frantically for the very glasses I perched atop my head!

Congrats on your nomination for poem of the month!

lol is it wrong that I feel a sense of relief realizing so many others are also confronted with this mysterious issue? Haha

Not wrong at all! It's best to laugh about these things!

I do this with hair bands. I can't take my glasses off without losing my sight completely. But I am famous for slipping an elastic band around my wrist and going half the danged day fussing that my hair is in my face. I completely identified with your haiku. I thoroughly enjoyed. Gretchen

Gretchen, I do this all the time! In fact, in one of my palms from a few weeks back called "She" I confess this! Haha thanks so much for your awesome review.

Jessica, I would not know a good senryu from a bad senryu...okay, in truth, I don't know what a senryu is all about. But I do know humor, and this little poem is funny because of the truth of recognizing oneself...been there, done that. Well done. Terry.

You are so right! When I was teaching, I used to forget where I had left my glasses and the class would say 'On your head, miss'! Even today, I often do the same with my grandchildren!

Excellent

so true. I can relate to this poem. Being 67 and my wife 64 we both have senior moments from time to time. I like the snarky humor of this poem and the last line is perfect.

Good

Oh so so true!!! You are brave enough to admit it. It happened to me once, and I still reel with embarrassment today! This a great anecdote in so few words.
Thanks for the post.
