About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

A Florida Factual Funny
Prompt: It's Friday funny or factual Friday It's your blog write about one or the other. If you want to share something funny for Friday or if you want to discuss a fact you discovered that might be helpful to us. Have fun.
====
This was a while ago and is verbatim mostly. I wrote it down as a possible story idea, at the time.
Out of respect for the amateur stage-enthusiasts, I am keeping the town's, the play's, and the theater's names incognito. It is from an ad panel from a certain amateur local theater. The play was said to be about finding love and there was some sex in the story, which might also be shown on stage, from what little I know of it.
Here it goes:
“Have a Cheerful Friday everyone! Come to the theatre four weeks later today to *finid* out what all the hype is about. Have a drink on us while you enjoy a showing of this outrageously funny play about *finiding* love…”
Underneath, way down, after the images of some scenes, it also said:
“Hands up if you wish to see a showing of *play’s title here*. Well, will you be waiting for it? Don’t miss your chance to catch this outrageously funny play.”
Still underneath the same panel:
"Calling all ACTORS to be extras.
Ages: 5-7 and 8-11
Rehearsals start on *date*"
I only hope the five-to-seven-year-olds were not shown how to “finid” love, as at that age, they must already be quite confused about the ways of this planet.
Only in Florida!

An afterthought:
As their explanation, the ad for extras was for a different play, but they put the ad for kids on this play's ad panel since they didn't have space for hanging another ad. A friend who lives in that town says after someone pointed it out, on the panel, they crossed over the part for kid rehearsals with a marker.
And then another Friday Funny here:
After I wrote for the above prompt, I looked into other BC bloggers entries and found out that they mentioned me and Megan and Lyn, and nothing about the above prompt I received in my email. I thought people dodged the Friday Funnies. Lol!
Then, it occurred to me to check the prompt on the forum's page. I couldn't believe  Ms. Lucifer Morningstar would send me a different prompt. So I checked my mail again, as I can never be sure of my own goofball actions. Yup, I got a different prompt.
Well, thanks Lyn and those who wrote! You're delightful.
