It’s been quite a while since I spoke last.
3 months ago; wow, that’s in the past.
I had an inkling, a thought to try.
Something brand new, I hope this will fly.
I’ll do this a few times, do things in rhyme.
Between the episodes, to fill in the time.
So you are not waiting for the next time I post,
Time to get started, I’ll begin with a toast.
