The Key Ring
A symbol of power
Little pieces of metal,
on a silver ring they’re found.
Each one will settle,
to whom a thing is bound.
If you want to protect it,
then use a key and a lock.
This system you can fit,
on everything you’ve got.
I will keep a thief,
from taking your favorite things.
That way there’ll be no grief,
and no complaints it brings.
A wise man once asked,
why do people steal?
If it’s not yours and that’s a fact,
then what’s the deal?
If you do not have what you want.
Don’t let evil succeed.
When you steal your sins you flaunt,
and that evil you then feed.
Here is a fact quite simple.
I represent the valuable things you’ve got.
Each key the status symbol,
of power that can be bought.

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.

There is so much rich symbolism when thinking about a key! Great job!
