I loved the audio!! Such a delight. Major Dr. Seuss vibes. I will play this for Catalina later. I see a children’s poetry collection in your future, my friend.

Oh that's so kind! Shel is one of my biggest inspirations. Very humbled to be compared to him.

It's hard to think of beets as sweet, with all of that dirt flavor pouring through. That notwithstanding, this poem is playfully proud, and you should be proud of it.

I hope this doesn't happen to me. Not even in a dream. One advantage I have over poor Arthur is that my name does not rhyme with any fruits! Do you suppose that means I'll be okay?

Zane Paxton's avatar

We'll agree to disagree. Ha!

I would guess you'll be okay. I think this was Arthur's story to go through, I'd assume yours will take a different path.

Yeah. My face will probably turn into a carburetor. 🥸
