With everything in this world
I could possibly need,
I surrounded myself.
I thought, this is the life
there is not a thing to necessitate
wanton action.
Sluggardly I proceed
all movement minimized,
content to reach out with
only my eyes.
Ah, this is the life, with
the whole world wide web
at my fingertips
who need move?
One minor miscalculation,
a minute detail, left unattended
and frightfully I find
this morning, nothing fits.
I have not a thing to put on.
Despite frantic hunting
search engines come up with zero finds...
lending very little credence to
the availability of  
an easy remedy
in a Super Duper Size
Snail Shell Store...

With no alternatives at hand
I gingerly place one foot after
the other
on the floor
and get out of
bed.

Very creative, here...my thoughts ran into a horrible realm..."don't anyone spill the salt"

this is probably because I slew a snail Saturday witha few teaspoons of salt

aren't I just awful! not for slaying the snail, but for going there from your poem...as we certainly do begin to 'outgrow' our suit if we just sit and take in what we can
