January 17th, 2020, a moost memorable outing at Collegeville Diner

A hardy acknowledgement yessiree

to the blessed sister Amelie worthy

of such beloved, devoted,

feted husband Rich truly

bestowed predicated upon

random chain of events

i.e., accidental, biological,

and genealogical happenstance prithee

applauding, apprising, and appraising key

kith and kin flavoring, enlightening,

and charming every

life ye and said spouse...

chance circumstance doth avail

your lucky charms to recipients receive detail

impossible mission to annotate here,

nonetheless with gusto courtesy

gratitude yours truly does exhale

regarding unconditional loving

creatures great and small

unbridled zeal without fail

truevalue analogous, yet exceeding

fine spun gold woolworth paltry holy grail,

nor can infinite wordsworth express hale

low, and brotherly love,

(equals at the least $20.00)

an introspective male

i.e. me, whose recent keen awareness

of vital specialness doth prevail

when a little boy quivering

scared as baby quail

his older sister genuinely

ranked high on importance scale

emotionally caring despite many travail

experienced by prodigal son

of Boyce and Harriet,

who frequently if not always did veil

steaming, roiling, quaking...

blubbering like a whale

Ahab oft times admit floundering chick

hen daring to venture metaphorical

unfamiliar muddy waters

unlike legendary Moby Dick

thrashing restless legs vainly kick

starting how to live think

lost at figurative sea

with nary an iota

abandoning ship lick

kitty split never trying

to overcome self doubt

when chased, teased and easily

trounced by bullies quick

as greased lightning

to cower on all fours

calling out for Ranger Rick

(or other unsung hero),

whose highlighted schtick

nowhere in sight, thus I got treated

analogous as some cheap trick

praying for salvation,

ye thence fended off beastie boys

(poetic liberty I take)

as veritable hooligans

threatened with wick

cud lee to thrash hide of

Matthew Scott imposing arbitrary

eminent domain despite

supposedly safe sanctified bailiwick.
