The writer’s arc begins
Mewling at the teat
Feeding on those adverbs
Sucking iambic feet
It’s a tale that began once upon a time
Crying in vain for his momma
Plots play out, lessons are learned, there’s a surprising twist…
Then he slips into a comma
I haven’t pushed this much (not my style), but with the deadline nearing could I ask if you’d consider casting a vote for me in the “Funniest Blogger” category for the ABBAs (Annual Bloggers Bash Awards). It would be awfully spiffing of you. Thanks ever so!

I voted for you – you’d make a great king. G:)

Isn’t it illegal to vote twice? Oh well, I will risk enacting an episode of ‘Orange is the new black’ in prison, just for you.
Love that ending. Very clever. 🙂

I’m being honest here, Al, about the vote. My integrity is important to me and I can’t vote for someone unless I really think they’re the tops. So, I voted for… YOU! 😀

I voted for you back when you first mentioned the nomination! I went to vote again, but it asks that you only vote once per category. 🙂
