Beige brick townhouses
silent spaces of greenery
kids playing ball hockey
in the city of Richmond Hill.
Golden synagogues
white marble mosques
wooden pagoda temples
and grey silver churches
a sacred ground for all folks.
Russian supermarkets,
Asian eateries,
music stores,
painters shoppes
and mahogany stone libraries
an outdoor mall of many places.
The scent of sweet lilies
the spicy lemongrass haze
enters my nostrils as I
stroll around the picturesque park.
The chant of the drums
the song of the forenoon wind
plays in the family hood.
Neon playgrounds
slides, swings, hammocks
and candy apple evergreens
a nearby public lounge.

The Flutist
In the bright emerald forest, a woman with shiny black tresses and a glitter magenta sari watched the waves of the arctic blue basin. She heard the roaring wind, the melodic bluebirds and the orange fairies singing the July song. The raisin colored bullfrog posed on her cozy lime lilypad, as she listen to the sound of the violet minnows blowing bubbles. The Indian woman grabbed her orange bamboo flute, as she smelled the sweet scent of geranium mist.

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.
