Do You Need Any Batteries Today?

she asked as I was cashing out at the counter.

Hmm...I thought. I'm not sure. I know...
(go big to find and count the batteries)

I can tape it
I can bind it.
I can clip it.
I can ship it.

I can note it.
I can hang it.
I can slice it.
I can pin it.

I can open it.
I can measure it.
I can shine on it.
I can count on it.


I could even staple it.

But could I charge it?
Finding batteries in my drawer is like playing a game of Where's Waldo?.

So I bought some.

PS I don't even know how to play Pinochle.
