international women's day march 8, 2018

 

less than half a dozen hours

remain here in Lake Woebegone,
an idyllic enclave, where legal tender,

liquid assets, minted monies

 

by the metric ton
loot, et cetera replaced

with sharing home good humor spun
prevarication, or a pun
where this Norwegian bachelor farmer,

 

now sets timer counting down to the one
hundred and fifth International Women's Day,

hence dada's taxi service necessitated
(asper my own volition) none

 

forsaking a substantial block of time

to ferry (via 2009 Hyundai Sonata)

thine eldest (of deux

darling damsels doggedly, diligently,

 

and definitively) whose maternal hue
ma in instincts (staking out

vocational, interpersonal, Jew

dish hiss lee courting biological objectives

 

Since matriculating

At University Of Pennsylvania

she seriously eyed

the engineering curriculum,

 

and as an inherent

high achieving civilian, this rugged

cerebral terra firmae terrain

emitting a signal calling she knew

 

tubby meant foe her, thus this proud papa his new
wish availing self less father summoned,

pressed, and mustered joyriding

glommed within mental motor queue

thus despite experiencing a minor panic attack

(with nausea more pronounced than usual), aye
did not want Eden (her first name)

to feel disgruntled toward pop (hood rather die)

 

as opposed to slacking off where fatherhood

concerned strove to be a beneficial guy

especially before the stroke of midnight
will usher well nigh

till next year long overdue attention,

now bequeathed during these twenty four hours

when non gun shy
textile women (shunted subaltern

second class workers)

in New York (circa 1907),

 

but said event opened to dispute,

but less in doubt
historical records indicate

1914 International Women's Day held on March 8

since then continued along
a linkedin chain in case you wondered why.
