Late morning today (February 17, 2021)

I (accompanied by missus)

drove to bed bath and beyond

Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania

off Chemical Road location for naught.

After arriving

at said destination alas and alack

with intent to purchase:

ZeroWater®

10-Cup Ready Pour™ Pitcher - $17.50

and ZeroWater®

4-Pack Replacement Filters - $39.99

(we discovered aforementioned store shuttered)

both of us essentially undertook round trip

to Schwenksville and back

without rhyme nor reason.

Subsequently, an idea dawned

(came to mind) to craft a poem

with immediate insight

since yours truly likes to write.

Our eldest daughter, an engineering ace,

(who lives in Oakland, California,

and conveniently employed to chase

the buck courtesy remote technology

within walls of her dwelling place

by B-corp) frequently politely reminds us

to purchase environmentally friendly product

to help sustain earthly creatures

besides human race

who about bajillion years from now

will vanish without a trace.

She nsync with youngest offspring,

(a lovely lass awaiting

her prince charming

ah...if only her fantasy

to marry available bachelor

singer constituting the

British band One Direction, -

would be dream come true)

insync with alluded to first born

unwittingly contribute immense happiness,

whereby meaning of life,

liberty and pursuit of happiness

doth resonate

despite both adorable girls,

(an unbiased opinion courtesy their papa)

in Oakland, California

and Bend, Oregon respectively.

Eco-friendly ethics

informed courtesy older sister eons ago,

she (Amelie Beth) hypersensitivity,

a contemplative introverted bro

who as a socially withdrawn boy

rather puny and scrawny body

standing with knobby knees

unknowingly foretold skeletal escrow,

viz arms akimbo point each elbow

perpendicular while moving to and fro

geeky and nerdy

improvisational dance intro

exhibiting nonconformist Judeo

spontaneous boyish schtick

just before onset anorexia nervosa manifesto.
