      Shayna Punim - You came a long way baby!       Though negligible communication 
now transpires between us 
twenty seven years ago 
come February fourth, 
two thousand and twenty five, 
our lives (affecting yours truly 
and that of mother, plus Eden 
a caring older sister) 
irrevocably changed for the better, 
when thee came into our world 
as a bundle of joy 
courtesy those who helped beget thee, 
(then albeit skinny lovely bones) 
over the course of years 
witnessed an attractive gal 
with meaty legs 
versus spindleshanks of mine, 
the laughingstock of humanity. 
 
Blessed intervention predicated 
on congenital developmental delay, 
the unknowable outcome 
figuratively rollicking and rolling in the hay, 
nevertheless upon mine conscience 
shortfall of breached 
marital accountability doth lay 
videre licet I as derelict 
couched pseudonym regarding Casanova role

      Sunday February 2nd, 2025 Groundhog Day       Location: Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. First held on February 2, 1887 prognosticating how many more weeks of winter weather without a shadow of a doubt. Aforementioned site chosen for Groundhog Day because German immigrants settled there and brought the tradition of predicting the weather with a groundhog.

      Precedent setting the stage for kerning and tracking piqued my interest       Just before logging off for the day, 
and ready to boogie out of the joint 
an email landed squarely in my inbox 
cordially inviting me 
into the management office 
accompanied by the buzz of my cell phone: 
(cue the sound of ominous music): 
I unexpectedly got called 
expecting to be handed a pink slip

suddenly my heart beat a mile a minute 
and palms of hands 
perspired like a wet dish rag 
expecting to experienced a chop job 
expecting to be chewed out by a hack 
after rapping lightly on the door 
before heading into the office by my namesake. 
 
Even before taking a seat

      Inspection will NOT take place January 21st, 2025...       but much to my relief, said mandatory inquisition (rather inspection) will take place sixty nine days later (due the math and inform me of any error if applicable), which date will be March 28, 2025. 
  
My entire body electric went into system of the down mode after mistakenly presuming that the triumvirate would loudly rap on our apartment door (B44 in case ye happen to inquisitive). As a result yours truly and the missus knuckled and buckled down into high gear furiously scrambling to complete some grunt work, and tossing out recyclables willy nilly plus bagged tempe intended for a future meal of mine.

      HO HO WHOA Second Chance algorithm drawing for January 17, 2025       No matter I kept fingers and toes crossed, 
and waited with bated breath since January 2, 2025 
even converted from skeptic to orthodox Judaism, 
and strictly followed the Torah, 
Talmud, and traditional Jewish laws, 
and made good on the gamut 
of my misdeeds considered a shonda, 
nevertheless yours truly 
courtesy the powers at large fell, 
not slated to win 
(til death do me part if lucky), 
and thus one mediocre 
poet from Perkiomen Valley 
reduced to a life of panhandling, 
(which required a bit of skill let 
said modus operandi, 
no more lofty a trade 
than being a pickpocket) 
essentially a nobody, outcast 
without a podcast, pariah, et cetera), 
who plodded himself 
along the boulevard of broken dreams 
relegated as an American idiot, 
no matter a supposed 
hidden potential of smarts 
attested to be placed in section 7B1
