to launch poem and invite reader(s)

reason(s) without rhyme

why yours truly (me)

chose to express heartfelt gratitude

toward resident Karen Windle,

Explanation whereby appreciation

toward Karen (spry firecracker, energetic,

diminutive, albeit frail looking gal)

whereby availability to shuttle us

found monetary compensation declined,

thus stymied intent regarding how I could

communicate sincere thankfulness

relieved when she would accept
