This is the key.The mystery key.
The key to what?
I’m not
quite sure.
I wonder what
this key is for?
Let me see.....
could it be:
the key to the door
of a treasure store?
the key to a lid
where things lie hid?
a secret box
with magic locks?
the key to a cupboard,
a closet, a drawer?
I wonder what
this key is for?
When I find it
I’ll unlock it,
but meanwhile keep
this key
in my pocket.
