Let’s begin with some trivia relevant to January, which is coming to an end. I’m ready to see this month go – how about you?
Monday, Jan. 30th is Bubble Wrap Day! Don’t you just love these unnecessary holidays? Who comes up with these ideas, anyway? Probably “they” – you know what I mean because we don’t know so we pin the blame on “they” for lack of a known entity.
Bubble wrap is used for protecting delicate items while in the process of being shipped. Now it’s touted for other uses, for example, a toy or a stress reliever. And here’s an interesting fact about Bubble Wrap…
Each year Bubble Wrap hosts a ‘Young Inventor’ award that encourages them to find ways to use Bubble Wrap outside of packaging. Whether you need a Bubble Wrap door cover to help you keep out the dings, or a Bubble Wrap cushy wheelchair to ensure your loved ones are safe from every danger, these young inventors work every year to try to create the newest Bubble Wrap rage.
The world isn’t a gift, you know
All tied up with a pretty bow
With how-tos on what to sow
Unfolding what we may reap
The unknown can make us weep
Sweeping ideas under the rug
Creativity forbade by the smug
A colorless world it would be
If not shared by you and me
Encasing the world in bubble wrap
Blurs the task for this and that
Our realization of imperfection
Will fuel throes of a revelation
By the way, the earth isn’t flat
