How to attach a shower curtain

How to attach a shower curtain... I revisit rather than write from scratch a poem crafted May twenty third two thousand and twenty since the following words apropos and amply serve a duplicate purpose of aforementioned title, when yours truly enlisted (before any consideration arose to object threading shower rings thru scissor made cuts) of makeshift shower curtain - actually repurposed invisibility cloak then yesterday March 24th, 2024, therefore husbandly duty found me swallowing my pride and prejudice with sense and sensibility suffering permanent anatomical disfigurement, nonetheless maintaining marital bliss at steep price despite more or less musculoskeletal dislocation, I eagerly, readily willingly confess. Ideal for someone whose height trends toward above average unless you don't object tilting head back in an effort to gauge keeping noggin cocked at ninety degree angle tempering rage. Yours truly gifted with absolute zero vertical advantage, hence mine neck craned back imposing unpleasant strain forcing gent's head apropos regarding yours truly futile attempt present instance. Carotid arteries perfectly positioned awaiting Jack Ripper's (imposter) knife thus mine noodle (property Matthew Scott) induced physical strife discomfort courtesy directly linkedin viz the ole hen pecking wife. Without complaint, I dutifully accepted challenge to affix curtain (essentially meant to keep shower water splashing bathroom floor) unbeknownst that threading a camel thru eye of needle sewing pin Would be a cinch, but such blessed lesson acquired thru hindsight initial task assigned me appeared straight forward until I saw light bulbs blind me myopic orbs, thus in addition to afore stated plight... Husband material (me) sorely tested to the max, no matter chore hardly commenced, which spurred mental note to refrain pointing at cumulative mold accretion heavily visible and unsightly eye sore. Arch disadvantage, yours truly not being impressive or particularly tall and thought not to retrieve sturdy furniture to boost reach heavenly pole which plastic hooks suspended plastic shower curtain over long haul. Upon figuring out how drape like appurtenance got held in place crick would necessitate chiropractor to realign permanently bent poise kick started when initially troubleshooting deceptively easy task, no quick assignment, though obviously fashioning plastic hook thru pre cut slot became clear at expense unintentionally breaking off "J" portion not possible to avoid subsequently uselessly rendered hook even if robot programmed to complete mission, yet all told poetically smarts & moxie I got. Please accept lame attempt (minus obvious sensibility) to comprehend anybody who reads previous literary endeavors considered virtual friend unconditionally accepts trademark swiftly tailored harried style I extend utilizing all manner of quirkiness, which moost likely spells mein legend after I pass from temporal plain, a posthumous johnny come lately bend ding formalities of English language writing, yet wondering what strictures disallow experimenting with poetic genre, though methinks literature intend did (art in general) to eternally evolve without deliberate intention to offend any die hard who might call upon men in white suits and briskly recommend to the funny farm, where life made more beautiful perchance receiving stipend.
