Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Spreading the Risk

Do not keep all my eggs in one

Basket is an old adage that

I believe in and do not shun.

So when the grocery store I'm at,

I try to spread egg break risk out.

A cartoned dozen eggs I take,

And from the carton I reroute

Each egg to its own cart to make

It less likely that the eggs all

Would in a breakage danger be

From some sudden bumping or fall.

All twelve carts are then pushed by me.

Folks look at me crazy when I

Try to explain my reason why.
