It’s small, it’s metal yet it’s precious
You lose it, you misplace it, you get unnerved
It‘s more precious than those studs of yours
Lose it and hell may be let loose on you.

The dip in the river was warm and refreshing
But the key in the car gave him cold feet
Finally walking miles on muddy road
Tired and weary, reached home to retrieve the duplicate key
*******************************
The key she kept in a safe place, away from sight
Planning to retrieve it when the need did arise
Wedding around, she decided to open the locker safe
But went cold on not finding the key in its place
From dawn to dusk the search was on
Each nook, each corner was looked into by all
The bank was contacted to pry open the locker safe
Thousands shelled out to get the key replaced
One day when cleaning the safe haven she found
The key resting safe in a recess hitherto unknown
Damage done she wanted to throw it away
But kept it as a memento of the upheaval of that day
*******************************
Key inside, he locked his little Sis and went off to play
Forgot she was wont to get afraid at not seeing him there
The wail, the sobs alerting the neighbors they called him from play
Only to be told the key was within
At only two how could they tell her to put in the key?
The sobs finally died down, the worries increased
One gutsy guy scaled the floors three
Jumped on to the balcony, broke panes, entered to open the door free
*******************************
Huh! This little key of steel it may be
Yet precious it is there is no doubt, you see
Safe and secure you may feel having it around
Yet pain in the neck it can often turn out to be
