I closed the door upon my leaving

so no one would wonder in

if only I didn't fear being burgled

by other nerdy, white men.

The door was locked and

I walked away

to use the computers at school

O, was I ever a fool.

The instance to leave and

go home to my nest

was at hand so off

I went on my quest

I thought that the key was inside my pants

but in that I was surely proved wrong

inside the house was the

key to my house

and there it had been all along
