"A Bug Sat in A Silver Flower" was pretty funny. One of my favorite funny poets is Ogden Nash. Not all of his poems are super clean, but he is so clever. I aspire to reading poetry, but I'm as picky with poetry as I am with music. I think my favorite classical poet is probably Longfellow. I love "Exelsior" and "Two Locks of ... ...

- FloraSeastone : Thanks! (Can you believe I'm considering going back?) 32! Wow, you go! At least you're organized enough to count them. Haha, I believe you'd get that ... I like writing poetry too! I don't know how deep or insightfull some of them are, they are mostly just poems that I think are funny. I write mainly fantasy, however, several of my stories are set in the real world. The characters I write are a whole different mess in themselves. I think for the most part, they are all recl ... ...

Congratulations on not having to do school anymore! I really enjoy creative writing as well. In fact I have no less than thirty-two (32) story ideas that I plan on writing one of these days. If procrastination was an olympic sport, you better believe I'd get first place. But I think I've been getting better about it too. No ... ...

I can't actually decide if I'm exited or not. I'll have to see what my workload will be like, and how my professors grade. I'm taking some interesting classes, so I am excited to learn some things that I actually have an interest in. However, they are all the kind of classes that require you to write a lot. While ... ...

Sorry for my late response, (I had a friend over and then school started). Honestly, while still cringe worthy for sure, your pun was much better than mine. Humor studies might be interesting, but I'm sure that you'd have to watch and read a whole bunch of irritating stuff. I took a class once, and part of an assignment was ... ...

I'm sure that in this bonkers world we live in, someone has invented pain relieving nose drops. There are a lot of possibilities for a pun using bread and pain, but none of them quite work. The first one that came to mind is "Bread only brings me pain". So corny, I know. I haven't actually looked into any French jokes, but ... ...

- I know! It's pretty funny. Your nose actually gets sore, and it feels weird. I can imagine though that studying a language like German or maybe Norwegian could have an effect on your throat, since they are both so guttural.

I agree, I do like "When Can I See You Again" and most of his upbeat songs. I also occasionally tend to stray towards the somewhat depressing songs like "Silhouette" and his cover of "Waving Through A Window" from Dear Evan Hansen.

It's called Carnival of the Animals, and the original title for The Swan is "Le Cygne" because Camille Saint-Saens was French.
