portmanteau

Which way to go? Use 
my verbal skills & meld 
two words, or open my 
suitcase & see what it 
holds in each of its hal-
ves? Or perhaps I should 
ignore both options & do
what I intended to do be-
fore that random thought 
temporarily stopped me 
in my tracks — venture 
outside to have brunch 
beside the motel pool.
