Poem
Give children oxygen at least one time a day Give infants bottles filled with empty promises Use binoculars to witness criminal activity Keep neighbors at a distance, say from here to Mars Keep thoughts to yourself, never in your pockets Keep an open mind in case you need a parking space Buy food then eat it to survive Make babies at your leisure Use a partner to save time Make a shopping list that includes dozens of oxygens Make a dictionary that includes the word oxygens Buy one more bottle at the store for security Promise to never read the shopping list Keep it in sight and never let it leave your side Leave the light on by your nightstand to see it twice Stay focused on important things that start with the letter X Mark X on every document Mark “A” if you run out of Xes Make Xes a new word invented for your dictionary Use a large letter A if you discover adulterers Buy more letters to cover every contingency Fill the refrigerator with fresh milk Leave babies and infants outside of it Keep all children away from hot and cold Remember they are sensitive to light and life Breath air in and out for system balance Take a supply of oxygen in case you want to leave Never leave unless you intend to travel Close the door to keep mosquitoes out Take time to figure what it is all about Authors note: I checked the dictionary. The plural of X is Xes. You don't have to invest in or invent a new dictionary. Also: The singular and plural for oxygen is oxygen. However, in more specific contexts, the plural form can also be oxygens e.g. in reference to various types of oxygens or a collection of oxygens. (It is best if you leave it alone unless you intend on using it.) Also: I discovered you can use “A” for apple or Adultery (but don't take my word for it and don't make any commitments unless you are sure.)
