Perhaps we might combine and pitch
our favourite writing styles
between great genres, scratch the itch
to produce that which beguiles,
like a Tom Clancy submarine
manned by Lewis’ Amish crew
led by a Howatch priest so keen
that he knows just what to do
when faced by Peter Benchley’s shark
on a Steve King eating spree
in the lake of Salinger’s Central Park
where Caulfield tries (for ducks!) to be
Malamud’s Roy Hobbs in every way
in the Remains of Ishiguro’s Day.

On of your best, Andrew. Thank you
Thank YOU, Karen! You made my day!
HA!! That was fabulous. I sat in silent amazement right up to the Snow White impression at which point I busted out laughing.
I did too, Damon!
That was brilliant! Laughter! Thanks Steve and all!
That’s what I call talent combined with lots and lots of practice.
She was soooo good! How delightful!
Amazing. I especially love to see the transformation in Simon when a performer shatters his preconceived notions.
Thank you!
I’m feeling a lack of talent but quite whole after that schizophrenic display! Amazing.
