APED: "organization"

Did you see that thing I was using?
It was here just a minute ago.
Like the book I was reading. Oh, it was good!
How it'll end, I don't know.
And I lost all my string, and a few other things,
and my tax return's vanished as well,
and something or other, way down at the bottom
-- what is it? -- is starting to smell.

I do have a system. It works very well.
I know just where everything is.
Except for the stuff that I just put down now.
But other than that, I'm a whiz.
I'll find it next week. For that's my technique.
I find what I don't need. It's true!
But the things that I need just get lost in the piles --
Say, you're here. Where did I put *you?*
