Options - a Quatrain

Anapest Pentameter

Have you noticed the different number of options in life?
Choices make us what we are today in work, play, or strong faith.
It's the same in the flora and fauna selections, all rife
with diversification of color, design, and odd shapes.
There are choices in daily routines, of our labor performed.
Does one travel on rail or in automobile, bus, some boat?
What did we wear today in shop, office, or mine that transformed
our appearance from idler to laborer using machines.
What's the game of choice we opt to enter this day for our play?
There're available each month new alternatives seen on websites.
With assortment of faiths to select from, our basket does weigh.
There are many religions, enough for all needs of the race.
The botanical kingdom has myriad numbers of greens,
and all nurseries show a display of their different buys.
On town market shelves we find an awesome collection beans,
not to mention the vegetables sold on produce stands apart.
All the species of animals we have named does list great,
and a wide choice for favorites make zoo enjoyable treat.
For the snake house and reptile farm keep us all stayiing late.
With amazing choice giving to most the bad frightening creeps.
