Adapt and Adjust

never was

an online shopper

before

but that was before

turns out I’m just as good online

as I am in the store

online shopping is an efficient mode of travel

but just like in the store

you can, um, get side-tracked

when you’re shopping for say Easter or your daughter’s birthday presents

did I need a keyboard that looks like a tray of lipsticks

yeah, no

did I need another string of pearls

yeah, no

did I need another copy of the same book, albeit, my favorite book

yeah, yes

did I need another coffee mug no matter how funny it was

yeah, no, definitely not

did I need a 5-pack of rosy lipsticks

yeah, maybe

did I need 4 pots of Blue My Mind dwarf morning glories

yeah, not really

did I need that many bags of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos

yep

did I need two rolls of artificial turf to putt on

yep

did I need a giant golf practice net for the yard

yeah, the other one broke and the new one must be on back-order forever

do I need a case of Fluff for my hot chocolate

yeah, I’m about out

a mug of hot chocolate topped with Fluff and sprinkled with cinnamon

jest makes it better
