Some of you have asked why there hasn’t been a new blog in a few days. Here is the sad reason why.

Last week I wrote a lovely blog
Deep thoughts and inspiration
It took me hours to get it right.
A mighty fine creation.

My fingers danced upon the keys
Choosing words and illustrations.
When I read the piece back to myself
I felt trembling sensations.

In all my years of writing posts
No one was ever better.
I knew I'd found the perfect place,
For each comma, verb, and letter.

I was sure I'd win a prize
For the column that I wrote.
Perhaps I'd get a Pulitzer,
Or some other plum of note.

A movie would be made of it
With big stars like Jane Fonda.
They'd have to film the closing scene
On location in Uganda.

I would go to Hollywood
Where an Oscar they would hand me
And if they gave me two or three
Well that would be just dandy!

In my speech, I'd want to thank
All my family, pets, and friends.
Then drive away in a fancy car,
A big blue Bentley or a Benz.

But I'm in tears, because you see
This all won't happen ever.
I forgot to "Save" when I finished my piece,
I lost the whole endeavor.

So words of advice to my loyal fans
Who have followed through this story.
Always remember to save your work,
Or bye-bye to your fame and glory.
