I agree with all of the above
Posted on Mon, 08 Jan 2024
I agree with all of the above comments; this was a hoot to read. You create hysterical characters and make me laugh at their absurdity.

I’m sorry to hear about your trees; I’ve lost a few in storms too so I know how much it changes the landscape, and storms of that magnitude can be frightening. As for your poem, it hits the chord of humanity; picks at those who offer cold,...
