Dive right on in
between the pages
adventure awaits
take a nighttime ride
on an airship
land on the moon
sit on its crescent
swing from the stars
or you could
take a ride
on a train
to the Wild West
to cahoots
with the gunslingers
protecting the citizens
or robbing a bank
ride your horse
to Indian Territory
befriend a chief's son
or you could
sail the 7 seas
riding the waves
with Captain Cook
looking for golden treasure
attacking unsuspecting ships
in the name of patriotic duty.
you could even train a parrot
to ask for a cracker or
to say shiver me timbers.
All between the pages of a book
adventure awaits, so open one today

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.

I love reading! That's how I escape reality. And that's what I'm doing now by reading your poems! 🤣
