Brilliant! What a treat.... Act II must be like the farce in the original - with the who's on first sort of misunderstandings - please!

Quite beautifully written!! Your use of the English language is top notch. You give a sense of reality, truth, yet in comedy, as we all are nodding our heads in agreement. Please, please be working on Act II. I know many are awaiting the next installment!! Bravo!! Thank you, Rick

My piece de resistance

Trump and Hitler probably shared something in common.

And all the neo nazi freaks out there are trying to deal with the fact that their leaders (Hitler and Trump) Both probably have.....wait for it.....MICROPENIS!!!

That was super fun to read! As I read aloud to my husband because he’s blind, and at 18 I wanted to either be an actor or a therapist, this morning I got to indulge the path not taken. Thanks, Rick! You write well, no matter the subject and always enjoy reading (even the essays that are a bit dark).

I keep thinking that there’s hope while you write and we all enjoy work this savage, beautiful, and acute. Thanks, Rick.

Just wow… this was a fun listen while I knit a bit with my glass of wine. I decided to listen again as I was laying down for bed. Like the “Calm App” bedtime stories for help going to sleep. I am in no way saying this story could put you to sleep but it was a great way to fall asleep with a laugh and smile. 😀 💤. Some nights are hard with all of the news but I think I have found my new jam. Waiting for the next Scene please. Thanks for all you do to keep us sane.
