started binging on Hoarders buried alive, Tubi, 
and Steve Wilco Wilkos half the day
away on our ten year old sole soulmate laptop,
a Macbook Pro,
an inexplicable byte size zits
erupted across every square inch of my face
subsequently the husband
thee blithely forgot about
doth rage against the machine,
and now, I feel at the end of my wits
because after nearly
thirty years of wedded bliss,
yours truly finally called our marriage quits

I summoned up the courage and told the missus
her husband (me) also got engaged to Chrys
Anne Thumb Mum, who owns
she will serve as a proxy spouse

among the most cherished flower girl worldwide

blooms have a rich history in choral traditions

not shy to communicate
and particularly draw abstract paintings
symbolizing everything from love
and joy to remembrance and grief

a beautiful ability at self expression
purportedly linkedin to her
colorful genealogical lineage
predominantly characterized
with what one imagines a Swiss miss
would be, a generic physical traits

generally characterized by
a blend of reserved politeness,
high levels of independence,
and a strong dedication
to punctuality and professionalism
reserved yet Friendly:
said essence of femininity
typically trends toward being private
and reserved in public,
often not engaging
in conversation with strangers,
but are polite and welcoming
once they know her,

but vitally much more importantly

she owns a company that sells computer Macs
in all their combinations and permutations

allowing, enabling and providing me

her most darling paramour

and she just loves without needling me
when the mother of my future children knits

his brow with facial muscles scrunched together
and looking at me occipital orbs,
which signify to her a veritable abyss
of untold possibilities, and essentially
"A riddle, wrapped in a mystery,
inside an enigma"
and upon seeing each other for the first time at 
Ott's Exotic Plants is located
at 861 Gravel Pike,
Schwenksville, PA 19473,
a popular greenhouse and nursery
known for its tropical plants,
koi pond, and fall "Mum Mountain" display
but mainly accommodates byte size passion

allowing, enabling and providing
carte blanche access
to any one of the brand new
pricey machines upon which
I immediately gravitate
when alone in her boudoir,
where she keeps
the most sophisticated
gold trimmed bad a$$ ingenious
work of engineering
and as of April 2026,
the most sophisticated
and high-performance
MacBook Pro you can purchase,
the 16-inch MacBook Pro
with the M5 Max chip,
specifically configured
with the 18-Core CPU
and 40-Core GPU

thus we maintain
a platonic relationship
ever since mine once mean libido
(drove yours truly
and any woman lucky enough
to be in my company satisfied
for months if not years)
wild with animal magnetism,
but since being prescribed ten medications,
the sex drive took a kamikaze nose dive,
but just as well,
cause that frenzied state
of always wanting
to placate coital predilections

distracted focus of mine
(which I could not afford)
as a freelance writer,
(who not surprisingly
accelerated at language arts
when a student apprentice
at the largest garden in the world;
the Gardens of Versailles in France,
covering roughly 800 hectares
(nearly 2,000 acres)
of formal French gardens,
fountains, and parkland.

Other top contenders
include the 1,000+ acre
Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania,
while the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Kew, in London
renowned as the largest
and most diverse botanical garden,
which provides peace of mind
to concentrate on crafting
humorous poetry, and the occasional vignette.
