RESPONSIBLE AVRA: No. You are not allowed to write. Not until after the AP.
WRITER AVRA: But look at the picture! It’s gorgeous! How can I resist?
RESPONSIBLE AVRA: You must. You don’t have the time right now. You need to focus on more important things.
WRITER AVRA: Oh . . . wait! There’s a poem option! That only requires 200 words! I can write a poem!
I haven’t written a poem in months. It took longer than I expected. I cut it very close—201 words. I managed it in four stanzas, which is a huge relief, because, of course, it’s extremely important that poems are an even four stanzas. Imagine if I’d had to create a fifth! That would be disastrous! It would completely upset the balance of good and evil in the world!

Let’s hope it’s not an epidemic. (or is it too late to hope?) 🙂

If there is lets hope we become too dumb to care. Dumb people are happy right?
