The Fairy Dance
Introduction This image made me think of Irish and Welsh mythology, so I have decided on an ekphrastic casbairdne for the form, which, although quite short, is a very difficult form, and this is my first attempt. I did find this very hard, but hopefully I made it work.

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 ā and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Maturity age for some.
Yet in America, you cannot legally drink until age 21. If I8 and had to fight in a war, I would drink! After voting, and particularly with this president, I need to drink! Dang Kendall, 13 words and I'm already drunk... Thank you for making me think in a six-seconds read. š
