Hey Younglings
Love Poetry
Hey younglings young women
I used to think the world of you
I used to think everything about you
Hey younglings young women
I used to be played by you
I used love your adorning
Hey younglings young women
You kept me up at night
You never stop tripping at times
Hey younglings young women
You used to be my everything
You used to be my world
Hey younglings young women
I used to could not cope
I used to giving you roses
Hey younglings young women
but now I am unafraid, stronger, wiser
on to you and now I must leave those visions alone
I got to leave those dreams alone because I've grown
And I realize the beauty of a woman isn't just the outside
but her mind, her thoughts, her ways, her kindness, her purpose
her destiny, her focus, her claims to life and that's what makes my day

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.
