You continue to amaze me with each of your pieces. I can't help but to be awed by the combined humor and intelligence of your thoughts. And I think what is equally as impressive is that each reads as if the thoughts just come spewing out and that little work is involved. Perhaps you should consider the sale of your work to a stand-up comedienne. It's already better than most.

When I really am ready to have my head spun around (and need my demons exorcized) I return to your work. William Blake said Lucifer was more interesting than God in 'Paradise Lost' because Milton, being a true poet, was of the party of the Devil. Hey, in the Book of Job, the poet makes it perfectly clear that Satan and God were old buddies who enjoyed a friendly bet. Well, this spun my head around. I'm pretty sure you're on the side of Good, I'm just not quite sure what side that is. Congratulations on making me think - a difficult task, I don't like to do it. Sometimes I'm in the mood. Thanks. We all enjoy a good joke. Except for those who don't like poetry.

Good provoking piece, Hound. I like the idea of fitting a character into another and yet we can only do so whithin the realms of our imagination. From the closing lines, even that proves limited. There is a great laid back feel to this piece, almost as if you were Jesus himself presenting us with a puzzle.
