Keys and cars

Should I ever appear stressed
about something I've lost,
tell me to look in the car.
Then tell me to look again.
And - though I may protest - make me look just once more.

Because lost things don't turn up immediately
and they burrow deeper for your second glance.
But the third time - when you're about to give up - they get tired of hiding.

I won't be needing to change the locks then.
