Five Girls
Five sister swans out for their first constitutional
Now follow me and don’t be slow
Matilda! Please watch where you go!
Try and keep in step back there
Don’t dance around like Fred Astaire,
Left leg forward, now the right
Daisy! Keep formation tight.
Heads up high, please, stay in line
Esmerelda? Yes, that’s fine,
Mummy’s watching from the back
Georgina mind, watch that crack
Almost there the pond’s quite near
Do try to keep up Charlotte dear,
Keep looking forward straight ahead
Just one quick dip and then to bed,
Nice to waddle no need to run
Now social distancing is done!

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
