Esteemed Fellow Punsters and Rhymologists!
we turned two, two months back
blink and you missed it —
to reflect on it now
I cannot resist it
from the
get-go your
poetic gyrations
surpassed all my
wildest expectations
dropping this mid-month
for a slight change of pace
what all y’all have gifted us
with, let time not erase
keep your verses
flowing, you
bards and
bardesses —
sans those
straight-laced
verbal harnesses
Highlights of this past cycle:
- A big welcome to our new contributing writers: Aeishwarya Baviskar (#142), Sam Writes Security (#143), Lars Londerre (#144), Payton Burdette (#145), Judy Dykstra-Brown (#146), Shipshape Smithy (#147) and Chris Mooney-Singh (#148)
- Tributes to Will the Bard, in time for his April birthday
- Further tributes, to Rudyard Kipling and Emily Dickinson
- Our National Day tributes continue, with National Garlick Day, Lumpy Rugs Day, Naked Hiking Day
- Our editorial manifesto in listicle form — not new but bears repeating
