Unfortunately I seem to have

Unfortunately I seem to have lost my socks
They have run down the drain
They have been swallowed by the vain rain
That falls on all these dry rocks

Unfortunately I seem to have lost my slippers
They seem to have been collected by the bin men
Who have taken them and rolled them in bitumen
For not they are rolled out like kippers

Unfortunately I seem to have lost my braces
They have been over run by snails
I left them in the garden next to the rails
And evidently the snails used them for their races

Unfortunately I seem to have lost my sense of timing
I do not know who took it maybe the raven
He took it on the wing when I was craven
And now I am braver, but the bell is chiming
