Thwarting Senility

I took the cap off then decided against it. The next day, when it occurred to me to check, I wrung my hands and thought about how long it'd take to get another sent from one of the suppliers in Oregon or Texas. I practically fell on my knees when I heard its coquettish titterings; it had lodged amidst the starbo'rdside plumbings. I immediately whupped out muh hyper-tuff remote-control drill motor and applied a leash.
